The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s (CCDC’s) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) revealed details of its Grenade Launched Unmanned Aerial System (GLUAS) concept in late April.
The GLUAS is designed to be launched like a projectile using a standard 40 mm grenade launcher to gather intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) data.

The ARL said in a statement that it had filed a patent application for the design in March and expects to start development and testing later this year.
The laboratory also noted that it will develop two GLUAS variants: a paragliding system with folding blade propellers and Mylar paragliding wings, and helicopter-style that hovers on a gimbaling set of coaxial rotors.
The battery powered GLUAS is enclosed within a projectile casing when in the towed configuration. Once launched, it will be able to achieve an altitude of up to 2,000 ft (609 m), with a range and endurance of 2 km and 90 minutes respectively.
