BLUF
SOCOM aims to develop a small, jam-resistant, fire-and-forget missile deployable from medium-sized drones, enabling autonomous kinetic strikes in GPS-denied or electronically contested environments, enhancing special operations lethality and resilience in contested conditions.Learning Outcomes
- Understand how compact fire-and-forget munitions can expand operational reach for special operations forces.
- Evaluate missile designs that maintain precision in GPS-denied or jamming-heavy environments.
- Apply AI-driven computer vision and inertial navigation in UAS-based strike systems, with potential lessons for ADF/RAAF unmanned combat and ISR platforms.
