Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) personnel said recent attempts at airborne retrieval of three unmanned air vehicles, nicknamed Gremlins, was inches from success in the latest flight test series.
During the initiative, which began on Oct. 28, each X-61A Gremlins Air Vehicle (GAV) flew for more than two hours, validating autonomous formation flying positions and safety features.
“All of our systems looked good during the ground tests, but the flight test is where you truly find how things work,” Scott Wierzbanowski, program manager for Gremlins in DARPA’s Tactical Technology Office, said. “We came within inches of connection on each attempt, but, ultimately, it just wasn’t close enough to engage the recovery system.”
