Fixed-wing UAS
- Vampire is a small and relatively simple fixed-wing UAS that the RN plans to use initially as an adversary emulator for air defence training purposes, replacing the Hawk T1s that were retired in March 2022. Vampire can be launched from ashore or using bespoke ramps from the decks of the QEC aircraft carriers.

The RN acknowledges that the aircraft carriers will rarely, if ever have the option of embarking the 36 F-35s the QEC carriers were designed for. Using an incremental approach the FMAF plan will see UAS add the mass that is needed to the air wing. For the foreseeable future, the core of naval airpower will remain crewed aircraft but they will incre...
Vixen is the most high-end UAS development effort and is unlikely to yield results until well into the 2030s. The fixed-wing air vehicle would have the capacity for two 500kg modular payloads and would be of sufficient size to require catapult launch from the carrier. It would be multi-role and could potentially support Persistent Wide Area Surveil...
Proteus is a high-end rotary wing aircraft (RWUAS) and initial development is already underway. Leonardo has been awarded a 4-year £60M contract to build a demonstrator RWAUS that will fly in 2025. PROTEUS is not funded by FMAF but is in the RN’s SPEARHEAD ASW budget line and is intended to complement and possibly eventually replace Merlin Mk2. Hav...

Peregrine is the name for the small RWUAS that was delivered by the Future Tactical Uncrewed Air System (FUTAS) programme. In February the RN announcedthe selection of the Schiebel S-100 Camcopter which will operate in the intelligence-gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance role, initially from warships based in the Persian Gulf. The simple but...
The RN has begun an industry competition for its Uncrewed Aerial System Heavy Lift Challenge (UASHLC) program. This will form the basis for PANTHER – a logistics UAS for ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore, beyond visual line-of-sight resupply operations which could include the delivery of munitions, food, medicine and spares. This promises to be a much...
During the Westlant23 deployment off the Eastern Seaboard of the US in November it is intended that a General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Mojave MQ1C Remotely-piloted UAS will be flown of the deck of HMS Prince of Wales. The MoD recently announced that had signed a £1.5M contract with GA-ASI for a 7-month demonstration programme that will include ...

Sep 29, 2021 · The Banshee launched from the ship and recovered to land via parachute. The demonstration is showcasing just one of the options as part of Royal Navy Develop Directorate’s Project Vampire, which is looking at lightweight, fixed-wing carrier-borne crewless autonomous systems.
Mar 17, 2022 · As part of the UK RN’s broader Future Maritime Aviation Force strategy, Project Vampire aims to procure a low-cost, fixed-wing UAS for ISR, electromagnetic and threat simulation tasks. Moreover, a platform of this type would enable the UK RN to develop its operational concepts, payload types and associated communication and digital architecture.
Synopsis. Three interns in white lab coats run frantically along the sidewalks of Los Angeles. They take cover next to some pallets behind a building. Vic Hunter [Brian Knudson] shows Eddie [Oliver Leymarie] and Tom [Chris Wolf] that he has taken a syringeful of prototype 19h from Project Alpha.
