| Introducing Terminator |
In 2003 the US Navy co developed an unmanned air vehicle, UAV under a Co-operative Research and Development Agreement with Roadable Aircraft and AirStar International, Air Drone’s mother company. Planned proposals included a small maneuverable Unmanned Vertical Take off and Landing (UVTOL) combat vehicle with the capability to hover and provide firepower. It could also eliminate or neutralize threats prior to the deployment of forces. The proposed UVTOL would be equipped with surveillance and firepower such as an M-34 Minigun. The proposed UVTOL is designed to be launched from a Trident submarine missile silo, or trailered into a secure position over 100 miles from target.
The Air Drone combat vehicle is a smaller scale evolution of a current ducted fan roadable air vehicle for personal transportation in which RAI holds a patent. The military design modification for UVTOL combat vehicle applications would be the addition of sensors, ballistic armor, remote control actuators, and armament. The overall duct diameter is reduced from 100 to 83 inches to enable the vehicle to be launched from a submarine.
The high payload capability allows the ultra high mobility Unmanned VTOL vehicle to carry larger systems such as the Sidekick augment to the Navy SLQ-32(V)1 Electronic Countermeasures system, which can provide active radar jamming protection and decoy protection to ships without active transmitters. |
