The following year, the United States will start testing multi-UAV
Today, 7:39
The following year, the United States can begin testing a new unmanned aerial vehicle designed to perform a variety of transportation and other support tasks. The device is being developed by Lockheed Martin as part of the project ARES and should become the embodiment of the ideas that have emerged in the last few years. The exact timing of the beginning of the delivery of the new UAV troops are still unknown because testing and debugging new drone could be seriously delayed.
On plans for a quick test UAV prototype in February this year, the agency reported DARPA, who oversees the project. Then DARPA reminded about the project. According to the agency, the project ARES (Aerial Reconfigurable Embedded System - «Air Reconfigurable Embedded System") is designed to create a multi-vehicle unmanned aerial vehicle, which will have to solve various problems faced by the troops.
For example, the apparatus may be used for supplying the remote checkpoints. In the midst of fighting these objects require different supplies supply - sometimes required to deliver up to 40 tons per week. The use of helicopters and road transport is not always possible due to the nature of the relief or combat situation. In this case, the best means of delivery of goods can be a drone aircraft with a payload of about 1-1.5 tons. Such UAVs can have a relatively small size and relatively high survivability.
To create the requisite technology in 2009, a program was launched under the name Transformer (TX), in which different companies offer their own versions of a universal perspective of the vehicle. A little later were formed updated requirements for new development and changed the name of the program. Final specifications of the new UAV were approved in 2013. A little later, the agency DARPA has identified the prime contractor for the project: the development of ARES unit deals with the company Lockheed Martin.
In order to provide versatility UAV ARES is proposed to construct a modular scheme. The basis of the machine will be a platform equipped with a control system, power plant and fuel system. This platform will be attached to the target load modules. It is assumed that ARES can carry cargo module, for transportation of the wounded, a set of spy equipment, etc. Payload weight exceeding 3000 pounds (1360 kg).
In February, together with the press release talks about the progress of the project were published a few drawings of promising UAV. These images describe the vision of the project at the beginning of this year, make it possible to present about the future shape of an unmanned vehicle. Moreover, certain requirements are known to it.
The modular UAV ARES is a platform with the power plant, propellers and a set of equipment. The main element of the platform - the central body streamlined shape, which houses the fuel tanks, engine and control system. On each side of the platform is proposed to strengthen the two rotary screw air in annular channels with a diameter of 8.5 feet (2.6 m) each. Thus, the UAV ARES will be a tiltrotor. During takeoff screws should provide vertical thrust in flight - horizontal. On the outer surface of the annular fairing must be positioned wing span 42 feet (12.8 m), providing the lifting force in horizontal flight. At the bottom of the case are mounting the module with the payload, as well as high ski landing gear.
Takeoff weight drone ARES should reach 7,000 pounds (3.17 tons). Using the engine capacity of 900 hp, the machine can reach speeds of up to 230 miles per hour and fly at a range of 250 miles. Due to the relatively small dimensions promising UAV can sit on a width of not more than 15-16 m. Equally important feature of the project is sufficiently high load ratio: payload up to 40% of the total weight of the machine.
Applied in the project ARES scheme with two tilt-rotor is expected to allow the drone take off vertically and transition to horizontal flight with a relatively high speed. In addition, despite the presence of knots turning screws and relatively complex gearboxes, such an arrangement would facilitate the unit itself and to some extent simplify its operation. Finally, a tiltrotor unmanned helicopter with a compact or classic pine schemes having similar characteristics. Nevertheless, the creation of a new project due to the use of innovative solutions will be connected with certain difficulties.
An interesting fact is that a few years ago the company Lockheed Martin described the promising project multipurpose vehicle for the army. It was supposed to be a light armored car with the possibility of "a flying unit." By its architecture the main platform UAV ARES much resembles the corresponding module of the previous project. Probably, after the analysis of opportunities and prospects, it was decided to abandon the flying cars and focus on building drones.
With regard to the proposed modular architecture of the payload, the use of a variety of containers, mounted on universal mount, really needs to provide greater flexibility of the new technology. During the development of the UAV ARES can get a number of new "special". Such a design perspective limited carrying capacity of the underlying platform.
Currently, the development of the project ARES coming to an end. In the coming months, DARPA and Lockheed Martin have to start building a prototype perspective UAV, which will then be used in the tests. The first test flights are planned for next year. Prospects of the project is not yet completely clear - it used some bold decisions that can complicate testing and further fine-tuning. However, in case of successful completion of all work forces the United States can get a universal lightweight tool capable of delivering a variety of loads, to evacuate the wounded, conduct reconnaissance and perform other tasks, going from one to another by simply replacing the pod.

Seperti apa perang yad ya, kalo yg maju prajuritnya robot semua.
Jadi ingat komik "Flash Gordon" tahun 1950-an yg menggambarkan kegiatan manusia di luar angkasa.
Dan semua jadi kenyataan sekarang.
