Description
Many military missions are based on the movement of individuals to the right location at the right time, while also ensuring that these individuals are able to exfiltrate to safe areas. Part of the military tactical advantage is often based on the ability to make these movements covertly, across a variety of weather conditions and operational environments. Special Operations Forces are largely built on the assumption that covert movement of small numbers of people can be performed. This capability is also advantageous for urban combat operation and Combat Search and Rescue. Hence, the capability for reliable solo air transportation confers military advantage, and this advantage is dependent on the portability of the mechanism, range of flight provided, robustness of the transportation mechanism, and ability to ascend and descend in a small area. CRG proposes to develop, demonstrate, and deliver a man-portable system for personal air mobility. This system will provide enhanced capabilities for personal air mobility over currently available systems.
