Novel Air Concept
Operational effect:
Provide a more cost-effective means of achieving the effects currently provided by manned aircraft and cruise missiles by using new concepts in unmanned air vehicles (UAVs)/unmanned combat air vehicles (UCAVs). The specific effects under consideration are the delivery of novel payloads over remote hostile territory and, specifically, within the urban environment.
Challenge:
A flying demonstrator within 3 years.
Capability Vision Activity
Vehicle Demonstrator
Activity desired outcome:
A reusable uninhabitied air system with a radius of action of 1000km and able to survive defended air space. Capable of being launched and recovered from land sea and air with the emphasis on ship based operations. The vehicle is to be able to operate within the urban canyons inherent in the major city landscape.
Challenge:
Within 3 years provide a prototype of a reusable uninhabited air system
