The primary users of this technology would be the Navy and Marine Corps, though it could also benefit the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, and U.S. Special Operations Command.

In June 2023, DARPA initially selected nine companies to present their concepts for ANCILLARY, narrowing the list to six for further development. These companies will enter a 10-month phase to mitigate risks and conduct hover tests on their proposed aircraft elements. Following this phase, they will submit proposals for the next phase, which involves fabrication and flight testing. Formal flight tests of the overall designs are expected to commence in early 2026.

Christopher Harris, the program manager for Northrop Grumman‘s ANCILLARY effort, highlighted the integration of autonomous capabilities, vertical takeoff and landing, and long-endurance aircraft design. Northrop‘s drone will feature a dual-rotor system for takeoff and landing, supplemented by a propeller for forward flight, capable of carrying 60-pound payloads over a 100-nautical-mile range for up to 20 hours.

Sikorsky‘s design, currently undergoing flight tests, is a “rotor blown wing” that transitions from vertical to horizontal flight, promising reduced drag and improved efficiency. Sikorsky plans to develop a 300-pound hybrid-electric version if selected, capable of carrying a 60-pound ISR payload using Lockheed‘s autonomous MATRIX technology.

Method Aeronautics, in collaboration with Sierra Nevada Corp. and Bechamo, is also progressing with a novel VTOL design aimed at enhancing the use of UAS by U.S. forces. Method emphasizes the critical nature of this technology for wider VTOL UAS deployment.

In a bold move signaling a significant shift in naval strategy, the British Royal Navy has unveiled plans to acquire up to six cutting-edge multirole support vessels, along with enhancing the offensive capabilities of its future frigates to engage land-based targets. The announcement came from Defense Secretary Grant Shapps during a momentous declaration at the Sea Power conference in London on Tuesday.

The decision to bolster the Navy’s offensive capabilities follows a period of introspection prompted by recent military engagements, particularly in regions such as the Red and Black seas. Shapps highlighted the invaluable lessons learned from confrontations with Yemen-based Houthi militants and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where Russia’s aggressive actions have escalated tensions since February 2022.

Shapps emphasized the imperative to reverse the decline of the Navy’s fleet, revealing plans to procure a total of 28 new vessels. This initiative aligns with the National Shipbuilding Strategy initiated in 2017 and subsequently rejuvenated under the leadership of Prime Minister Boris Johnson in 2022. The overarching goal, as articulated by Sarah Kenny, former chair of Maritime UK, is for the UK to emerge as the foremost maritime power globally by 2050.

The resurgence in naval investment comes hot on the heels of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak‘s recent announcement of a substantial £75 billion increase in defense spending over the next six years. This infusion, equivalent to approximately US $94 billion, is aimed at elevating British military expenditures to 2.5% of the gross domestic product. The move underscores the government’s commitment to fortifying national security amidst economic recovery efforts and persistently high inflation rates.

The forthcoming surge in shipbuilding activity is set to galvanize shipyards across the UK, with Shapps pledging to prioritize domestic construction during what he heralded as a “golden age” for British shipbuilding. Key projects include the construction of Type 26 and 31 frigates in Scotland, Astute and Dreadnought submarines in Barrow-in-Furness, and fleet solid support ships in Belfast and Devon.

The centerpiece of the Navy’s expansion strategy is the acquisition of six multirole support ships tailored to the needs of the Royal Marines. These versatile platforms will boast the capability to accommodate aircraft, vehicles, insertion craft, and unmanned systems, in addition to serving as mobile medical facilities to treat battlefield casualties. They are slated to replace the entirety of the Royal Navy‘s existing amphibious support fleet by the early 2030s.

Simultaneously, enhancements to the newly commissioned Type 26 and 31 frigates will equip them with land-attack capabilities, mirroring a broader trend observed among European naval forces. Shapps drew parallels with initiatives undertaken by countries like the Netherlands and France, which have announced plans to integrate advanced weaponry systems into their respective fleets.

In light of the anticipated surge in shipbuilding activities, Shapps stressed the imperative for a substantial expansion of domestic capacity. As part of this endeavor, negotiations are underway with BAE Systems for the sale of the HMS Argyll, a Type 23 Duke-class frigate, to establish a shipbuilding academy in Scotland.

As the UK charts a course toward a revitalized naval force, the acquisition of new vessels and the infusion of resources into shipbuilding endeavors signal a renewed commitment to safeguarding national security interests and projecting British maritime power on the global stage.
