UAS Advanced Development:
HawkEye

HawkEye is designed to deliver critical payloads covertly to ground personnel through the use of standoff, high-altitude, air launched deployment that can be followed by a conventional landing approach recovery of the primary vehicle. This silent and stealthy expendable glider is designed to penentrate up to 80km fully autonomously, or to be remotely piloted all the way to its payload delivery point. HawkEye is a scale-able concept demonstrator program, which has sucessfuly demonstrated a payload delivery capacity of 25kg. Other larger capacity variants are currently being explored, and include optional propulsion systems to extend endurance and range.
