The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Vehicle Research Section (VRS) has developed an expendable Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) called CICADA (Close In Covert Autonomous Delivery Aircraft) for missions such as payload delivery, meteorology, or electronic warfare. The design concept is an inexpensive, high packing density, yable sensor node that can be deployed en-masse to quickly seed an area with networked sensors. Four design iterations of the airframe explore the concepts of high packing density |
