Tern UAS Concept Overview

A DARPA/ONR/Northrop Grumman team is developing Tern, a revolutionary medium-altitude, long endurance, highly autonomous unmanned air system. The new tail-sitter UAS has the potential to dramatically improve the quality, capability, and reach of future Navy ISR and strike, and Marine expeditionary operations around the world.

This uav reminds me of the XFY-1 Pogo. I gotta say it looks cool.

[@plorks445]

The Pogo lives!

Nice tech there, guys.

Интересный аппарат , неплохое решение взлета и полета

[@NSAwatchesME]

its similar to flex rotor just a coaxial
i wonder what the efficiency loss is from the coaxial propulsion

[@pikminlord343]

interesting development

[@omnianti0]

the lack of front top sensor is questionable with this configuration
i guess a masr sensor as the ah1 apache radar can solve the issue

[@cicatriz.9761]

Welp, it's late 2018 and still no TERN.

Lame, tail sitters are terrible in wind. Let alone landing on a bobbing boat. It will be quite an amazing feat to see this work.

[@NSAwatchesME]

i have a better design for you btw shame your system is so automated i cant even get through to a human
maybe i should stop by woodland hills in CA?

[@RuchiraWeerakkody]

come on this is WW2 design (Focke-Wulf + Vought V-173+Lockheed XFV The Salmon) you can do better than this

[@Karuiko]

If it works well, it works well. A modified design with more sensors and capabilities. And they look pretty cheap compared to other alternatives.(Definitly cheaper than Lockheed Martin's Kamikazi jets)

you know ur shit
