Army Drone Rodeo Will Feature Textron's Vertical Takeoff UAS

Textron Systems is preparing to show off its vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial system in an Army drone rodeo at Fort Benning, Georgia, for companies competing to replace the service's RQ-7B Shadow. The Future Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems, or FTUAS, Rodeo will run through the first week of March and feature troops demonstrating drone prototypes from four defense firms that have been under soldier evaluation for the past year. #MilitaryHeadlines #Army #Drones #MilitaryTechnology
