Description:

Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) PMA 263, Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (STUAS) is seeking a solution for its gap within the Unmanned Logistics Systems – Air (ULS-A) Family of Systems. The Government is seeking a prototype that can carry a logistic payload between 1,300 and 2,500 lbs to a combat radius of 100 nautical miles (NM). The need for the system includes the ability to perform a logistics distribution mission at the tactical edge for resupplying forward deployed ground forces. The underpinning concept of operation for the mission is a request for supplies submitted by forward deployed forces through a common digital handheld device. The source of supply loads the prototype solution, then launches the UAS to the location submitted or logged into the handheld device resulting in the UAS delivering the desired payload autonomously to the resupply location.
