The objective of the Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) is to demonstrate an affordable, responsive, easy-to-operate, backpackable reconnaissance and surveillance system. The MAV system provides the small unit with militarily useful real-time combat information about difficult-to-observe or distant areas and objects in urban and complex terrain. The paper will review the MAV program, outline several of the ongoing studies of other military applications of MAV, and provide a description of the ongoing Military Utility Assessment (MUA) being conducted by the U.S. Army.
