Description
The purpose of this project is to develop a Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capability for an ultra long-endurance unmanned aerial system (UAS). STOL capability will allow launch and recovery operations on much shorter runways than currently possible for Group IV sized UAS, which is operationally valuable to end customers. External ground based systems will be used in the STOL operations for launch and recovery phases with an objective of minimizing change to existing UAS and utilizing commercial off the shelf (COTS) ground based system technology and hardware. The design, development, ground and flight test, and demonstration of the STOL system will occur in this phase.
