Summary: Medusa Botfly provides a payload delivery system to the modular Medusa small UAS (SUAS). Soldiers can manufacture, assemble, and use the Medusa SUAS family in austere and remote environments through the use of inexpensive, common components and 3D printing. The capstone team designed, built, and tested the Botfly attachment along with corresponding controls to integrate with the Medusa UAS. The Botfly attachment allows any Medusa SUAS to deliver a small payload on demand. Currently this system can increase small-unit lethality within mortar range and will eventually reach extended ranges.
