New Army "Quiet" & "Helo-Like" FTUAS Drone Develops AI For Fast-Attack

Published on October 9, 2023

Vertical take-off, low acoustic signature, networking and agility are key elements of the Army’s vision for the FTUAS

The U.S. Army's Future Tactical Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (FTUAS) is a groundbreaking drone development initiative designed to perform helicopter-like take-offs and landings, survey enemy zones, and swiftly process and disseminate targeting data across a connected series of platforms. This next-generation drone will boast a vertical take-off, low noise output, agility, and enhanced networking capabilities. Building on the Army's previous success with manned-unmanned teaming in Afghanistan, the FTUAS is poised to elevate the synergy between manned aircraft and drones, emphasizing rapid prototyping and harnessing the expertise of key players like Griffon Aerospace and Textron Systems.
