Description
Commercially available quad-copters could provide an innovative smart attack capability to existing military deployment platforms. This proposal demonstrates a plan to develop a payload for the ATACMS or GMLRS missile systems to deploy a "section" of UAS devices on the battlefield. Once there, these quad-copter UAS devices will navigate to and attack a target of interest using explosively formed penetrators. The solution combines the range of the missile system with the flexible and dynamic movement of the UAS devices to evade defenses and augment existing attack methods.
