Swift Engineering, Inc. has designed and created the KillerBee Unmanned System for just such a role, and feels that Raytheon will provide the expertise in defense systems assuring a successful STUAS/Tier II bid.
"The need for a robust UAS that will allow sailors and Marines to operate in demanding environments both aboard ships and ashore" said Rick Egan, President of Swift Engineering, "drove our design team to create a system that meets or exceeds all proposed Navy and Marine Corps requirements today, with a capacity to adapt for more challenging missions tomorrow."
