After three years of development, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst successfully qualified the Motion Platform Aerial Sensor Suite (MPASS) prototype system for future use with the Ship Motion Platform.
The system can simulate the behavior of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and can carry payloads of up to 100 pounds while reaching speeds of up to 17 knots. With a focus on autonomous control the system can accelerate advancement in UAV capabilities, particularly in-flight dynamics and landing performance across different sea states, all without requiring airframes, ships, or Federal Aviation Administration approval.
