DARPA is brainstorming ideas to help frame future UAS program investments. The ultimate goal is to design, build and demonstrate a Group 3 UAS capability with an equivalent Group 1 logistics footprint (i.e., entire system can be launched/recovered by two people) while also increasing range/endurance/payload and reducing unit cost over existing systems. The UAS will be able to launch from any location (approximately 8-ft. x 8-ft. area) without launch equipment infrastructure and precisely recover in an equivalent area. System design will enable launch, cruise, loiter, and recovery in challenging conditions (e.g., winds, rain, day/night, extreme temperatures, high altitude austere locations, etc.)
