Target Arm and U.S. Army DEVCOM GVSC Announce Multi-Year CRADA to Advance In-Motion Drone Operations

RIDGEFIELD, Conn. - EntSun -- Target Arm Inc., an autonomous robotics company advancing in-motion drone operations across defense and commercial sectors, today announced a new Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC).

The CRADA is designed to demonstrate Robotic Arm Launch and Recovery (Ralar) as a Modular Mission Payload across the Army's legacy and future vehicles while moving, even with uncrewed vehicles. Target Arm's mission is simple: remove the "stop-to-fly" bottleneck so crewed vehicles and robots can deploy drones while staying mobile. This effort is an invaluable tool for Target Arm and will gather operator and engineer feedback to improve form, fit, and function and accelerate maturity from TRL-7 to TRL-9 (TRL - Technology Readiness Level). The CRADA is structured for a multi-year collaboration period, supporting continued testing, iteration, and operational learning. "Stopping a convoy, or a combat formation, to launch or recover a drone can increase risk and slow the mission," said Jeffrey A. McChesney, CEO & Founder of Target Arm. "This CRADA with DEVCOM GVSC helps push real, practical autonomy—so drones can launch and recover while the vehicle keeps moving. No Stopping, No Pilot."
