Raven balloon systems used in UAV flight testing
Raven Industries Aerostar aided the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Vehicle Research Section on achieving successful unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight tests for the autonomous deployment demonstration (ADD) programme.
The flight demonstration series, located at Yuma, Arizona, consisted of eight high altitude balloon releases at altitudes of up to 57,000 feet. The balloon demonstration facilitated close-in cover autonomous disposable aircraft (CICADA) vehicles to come to rest within 15 feet from their intended landing targets.
The ADD programme equipped small UAV’s with sensor payloads, launching them from balloons or aircraft. The ADD field trials successfully demonstrate that the CICADA can perform a precision delivery of a notional payload after being carried aloft by a hand-launched balloon.
Throughout the testing, the UAV package was lifted to altitude using handlaunched balloons manufactured and operated by Aerostar International.
