High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES) Flight Test

High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES) Prototype 1 (P1) recently embarked on its first flight after completing sensor integration. HADES is a multi-faceted sensing capability on higher altitude, longer endurance manned platforms (e.g., business jets) that can provide stand-off from enemy anti-access/area denial systems. HADES will address Army requirements for medium to high altitude aerial ISR capabilities to rapidly gain and maintain situational understanding, freedom of maneuver, overmatch, and decision advantage in Multi-Domain Operations. #usa #army #aircraft (Footage provided by Christopher Nwagbara)
