Full Description

This is a WALRUS (Heavy Lift Air Vehicle) Industry Day Announcement by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The WALRUS program is a design and development effort where the primary objective is to demonstrate the feasibility and viability of a large lifting air vehicle able to transport a Unit of Action (UA) from 'Fort to Fight'. The WALRUS air vehicle(s) will be capable of inter-and intra-theater operations and will deploy the UA as a complete integrated package of personnel and equipment, ready to fight. It is anticipated that the objective operational air vehicle will be capable of lifting 500 tons or more across intercontinental distances and will be capable of operating from unimproved landing sites. The WALRUS air vehicle will also be suitable for a range of other missions requiring large platform and long endurance/range. Further Industry Day information has been posted on the DARPA website (http://www.darpa.mil) under TTO. Future revisions and further information will also be posted there. Searching for "WALRUS" will return all pertinent information released for Industry Day and the program.
