UAV Adds Another Tool to the Box of Uncrewed DoD Toys
General Atomics has demonstrated their new Eaglet, a new survivable Air-Launched Effect (ALE). The flight was done as part of a flight demonstration based out of the Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah last December but only published recently. The Eaglet was launched from a U.S. Army MQ-1C Gray Eagle Extended Range (GE-ER) UAS aircraft, kicking off the first of many flights as the company and its customers look to define a suitable role for the ALE.
