Utah is about to be invaded by drones! 🛫
he drones will mark the largest group of interactive air-launched effects the Army has ever tested.“I think what you're going to see is an expansive use of electronic warfare and an expansive use of our interactive drone swarm,” Maj. Gen. Walter Rugen, head of the Army’s Future Vertical Lift Cross-Functional Team, told .
The event will take place at the Army’s 2022 Experimental Demonstration Gateway Exercise , which runs from April 25 to May 12 at Dugway Proving Ground near Salt Lake City, Utah. The exercise will see the use of a mix of ALTIUS 600 and Coyote drones by Raytheon.ALTIUS 600 drones weigh between 20-and 27 pounds and come with a range of 276 miles. They can last for at least four hours and can be fitted with a warhead for offensive missions or employed as a counter-drone weapon.
Meanwhile, the Coyote drones boast a rear pusher prop, a set of pop-out wings, and a pop-up twin-tail which resulted in them initially being marketed as low-cost intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms. They were later, however, used to gather data from inside hurricanes in 2017. from a variety of areas, both on the ground and in the air. “We'll be launching them pretty much, you know, Monster Garage-style, anyway we can,” Rugen said.
The drones will then come together to head toward an intended assault landing zone where they will sense enemy forces, fix their positions and communicate back with command posts.Stay ahead with the latest science, technology and innovation news, for free:
