The demonstration showed how tactical 4G/5G communications networks and UGVs equipped with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and signals intelligence payloads, jammers, and sensors can conduct missions
Powered by Elbit Systems’ TORCH-X Robotic Autonomous Systems software suite, unmanned ground vehicles and mini drones performed autonomous reconnaissance missions
As part of this fourth test series, the Gremlins Demonstration System flew three Dynetics Gremlin Air Vehicles (GAVs) to conduct four individual flight sorties for a combined 6.7 hours of flight, including the 1.4-hour airborne recovery mission
The Kratos-RPS Defense team will support Kratos Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and their corresponding technologies during the systems’ transition from prototype and demonstration to real-world military operations
Elbit Systems and Roboteam’s ROOK UGV can navigate rough terrain both day and night to deliver supplies, evacuate casualties, perform intelligence gathering missions, and operate as a remote weapon system
With funding from the Air Force Research Laboratory, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems will design, develop, and conduct flight demonstrations for the Off-Board Sensing Station Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)
QinetiQ’s Banshee UAS can operate at 25,000ft, or just above the waterline, and fly at speeds of up to 400 knots, delivering a realistic adversary to train against
Steadicopter’s Black Eagle 50 Electric has a maximum take-off weight of 50 kg and useful load weight of 30 kg, comprising payload and batteries, and is capable of up to two hours of flight time
Patria will provide wireless communication between manned and unmanned aerial platforms with its Compact Airborne Networking Data Link (CANDL) system as well as ground systems in teaming scenarios
The project will enable the Insitu Integrator UAS to operate during atmospheric icing conditions by incorporating UBIQ Aerospace’s D•ICE solution, an autonomous, electrothermal system optimized for use on small, tactical UAS
Already having achieved over 12,000 flight hours supporting operations in the Middle East, the previously leased MQ-9A Reaper Block 5 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) have now been transferred to U.S. Marine Corps ownership
