The Aerial Reconfigurable Embedded Systems (ARES) is a vertical takeoff and lift (VTOL) flight module that could adapt to multiple missions with interchangeable payloads, offering new capabilities
and enabling new operational concepts.Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works is leading a team with Piasecki Aircraft to develop the next generation of compact, high-speed vertical takeoff and landing
(VTOL) delivery systems with the Aerial Reconfigurable Embedded System (ARES).Formerly known as Transformer (TX), ARES’ unique design could adapt to multiple missions with interchangeable pay-
loads; including cargo pods, medical evacuation units, a tactical
ground vehicle, troops, and armed scout, reconnaissance and strike capabilities. This flexibility combined with emerging autonomous unmanned air vehicle control systems provides terrain-independent transportation and cargo supply capability to ground combat units.Compared to a conventional helicopter, ARES’ tilting ducted
fans provide a safer operating environment that’s half the landing
zone with faster transit speeds of up to 200 knots.
