According to the report, a team of US Army soldiers has brought an evacuation drone concept to life, introducing an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of picking up downed drones in combat. It is known as Project RED (Recovery Exploitation Drone), and it uses an AI-powered object recognition software to tell enemy and friendly drones apart.
The report stated that its robotic, 3D-printed carbon-fiber arm swoops in to retrieve aerial platforms, carrying them back to base for two key tasks: repairing allied drones or exploiting enemy systems for components and tactical intel.
The report also stated that the team behind Project RED includes soldiers from the 28th Infantry Division: 1st Lt. Ryan Giallonardo, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Reed, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Nathan Shea, and Sgt. 1st Class Brent Wehr.
The report said that Reed served as team captain during the US Army’s inaugural Best Drone Warfighter Competition, where Project RED won Best Innovation. Reed stated that this is a great achievement for the team and the [unmanned aerial systems] facility as well as the Pennsylvania National Guard as a whole.
The report also said that competing against the entire army, putting in the work, and coming out on top really speaks volumes to what the team has been doing and the hard work they’ve been putting in. The team said that they were also awarded a one-year contract to further refine Project RED’s design and functionality, potentially leading to operational deployment.
Reed stressed that they were excited to continue to have incredible support from state and division-level leadership.
Additionally, Reed stated that they’ve been very helpful and very supportive of everything they were doing, and it’s allowing them to highlight what they can do at their facility. And Reed is super proud of his entire team and everything that they are doing.
