RWUAS CCD Phase 2
Objectives of the programme include
� Identification, research, development, experimentation and demonstration of emerging technologies applicable to future VTOL UAS in order to ‘inspire, catalyse and accelerate innovation’.
� Development of outline concepts for future VTOL UAS - commercial, military and para-public applications.
� Identification of technologies that could be applied to existing platforms to enhance capability delivery and operational safety.
� Advancement of technology and overall system design evidence to underpin VTOL UAS regulatory development in restricted and congested airspace.
UK MOD and Leonardo Helicopters jointlyinvesting in a programme of work toidentify, develop and exploit theopportunities offered by emergingtechnologies, to reduce costs and increasethe agility, flexibility, resilience andpersistence of UK rotary wing capability
