Description
The drone was used for dissemination of biological and chemical fills.
The AN-USD-4 was a remote controlled, medium endurance, recoverable drone. The system was designed for either low or high penetration of enemy territory to disseminate biological or chemical agents and return the drone to its launch point for recovery by parachute. Guidance was by pre-programmed inertial system using a Minneapolis-Honeywell inertial platform. There was also a short range line-of-sight command guidance system employed. The drone could be launched from a zero launcher mounted on a flatbed trailer. Jet Assisted Take Off boosters were used for launching and were mounted beneath the drone. Two different size boosters were used. The drone could carry external tanks mounted under wings.
