The intent of the contracted study was to identify technologies having highest potential of helping achieve the Fixed Wing Vehicle Program sub- area goals. A subset of the activity was to identify technologies that need flight test on a new vehicle to further the validation. The contract effort defined the technologies and suggested a modular vehicle that could be used to flight validate promising technologies. Benefits of the selected technologies, applied in combination with each other, were identified A rough-order-of-magnitude (ROM) cost estimate was prepared for a possible follow-on Block II program to construct and flight test the demonstrator vehicle.
