Research abstract

Exosonic is developing an adversary air training UAV with considerations for agile combat employment expeditionary capabilities, which dually supports our supersonic airliner efforts by demonstrating Exosonic's low boom technologies. Exosonic proposes to work with several USAF stakeholders to determine the right set of requirements for the adversary air training / low boom tech demo UAV, such as range, endurance, max payload weight, and other parameters. This proposal’s main body of work is to develop the adversary air / tech demo supersonic UAV aircraft conceptual design and select an appropriate engine to power the aircraft. Upon the design’s completion, Exosonic will review it with the USAF stakeholders to ensure adequate technical rigor was applied in the design process and that the vehicle meets the agreed-upon mission requirements.
