A New Approach to Tactical Weapons Delivery-A Closed Loop RECCE/Strike System Using Mini Drones

The Harassment Weapon System HWS) program has demonstrated the practical utility of a mini drone based weapons system. Completed studies and analysis provide a solid basis for HWS entering engineering development with a lethal system which is effective against all components of the Warsaw Pact air defense network. This paper provides a conceptual framework for integration of a mini drone based weapons system as a part of the total force structure.
