Accurately delivering small payloads (
Benefit: Currently today there are no low cost rapidly deployable sUAS that can be quickly delivered at point-of-use to the US government in large volumes. The successful completion of the proposed Phase I and Phase II efforts will result in the development of rapidly manufacturable and deployable sUAS that will solve this issue and, additionally, develop a design and supply chain paradigm that would benefit other autonomous terrestrial robotic platforms.
