This demonstration accelerates the delivery of vital LE capabilities to warfighters by fostering collaboration with industry partners like AEVEX Aerospace (Atlas), Anduril Industries (Altius 600), and Raytheon (Coyote Block 3). LE systems are designed for high-risk, contested environments where traditional aircraft cannot operate. Utilizing autonomous and collaborative technologies, they detect, identify, and report high-value targets – particularly in areas with disrupted communications and navigation – providing crucial intelligence ahead of friendly forces. show less
