From aircraft armament to parachutes to unmanned aircraft, no one puts aviation assets through punishing developmental testing like U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground.
The Army is rapidly integrating layered unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and launched effects in a combined arms fight with fires and maneuver to penetrate, exploit, and defeat near-peer adversaries in a complex environment. With decades of experience testing new UAS, U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) is currently hosting evaluations of the Low-Cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System (LUCAS), a one-way attack aircraft sponsored by the Marine Corps.
