Vulture

Program Manager: Mr. Daniel Newman

Overview

The objective of the Vulture program is to develop an aircraft capable of remaining on-station uninterrupted for over five years to perform intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and communication missions over an area of interest.  The technology challenges include development of energy management and reliability technologies capable of allowing the aircraft to operate continuously for five years.  Vulture, in effect, will be a retaskable, persistent pseudo-satellite capability, in an aircraft package.
