I have three unmanned air systems in play next year.
We are teamed with Northrop Grumman on Dash X - a UAS that fits insight a bomb shape and goes on the wing of electronic warfare F-18G's.
We finished Phase I last year and had great success - after initial flight test, we flew in a large Naval Exercise. An F-18 was able to receive data from the NGC electronic payloads two airborne Dash X then take control of the air vehicles and upload new flight plans. A first for the Navy.

Last year we ground launched Dash X. In the coming 18 months we will be going store and separation testing from the jet. That is Phase II

Next is Watchman:
Ducted fan UAS that we are working with the USMC in FY18 for live fire demos. Watchman can be tethered to armored vehicles or untethered. They want to be able to put Watchman up and gather EO/IR data for targeting and damage assessment...among other things.
Great project and the Marines have been incredible.
Lastly, this thing:
It is a blended wing lifting body UAS. We are designing a smaller version that can be thrown out the back of a C-130 for search and rescue, Special Ops support, etc.
My partner is on the left. The design won a number of awards in Paris in 2016. They have asked us the show in Paris again to display Dash X. He is a freaking genius.
All three are real UAS that fly. We designed, tooled, made and assembled all three. So far so good!
