Textron reported that testing took place at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, where dispensing modules controlled by a Scorpion control station were demonstrated in both urban and open terrain settings against single and multiple target arrays. Additional day and overnight system verification trials occurred with up to eight dispensing modules under the control of a single Scorpion control station. These activities validated the Scorpion's situational awareness, command and control, and target engagement capabilities. The Scorpion's sensor fuzed warhead also was demonstrated to verify functionality and performance under various scenarios.
Following this event, Textron Defense Systems led a CDR to demonstrate its execution against program goals leading up to the government development testing phase, which is expected to begin later this year. The customer affirmed that the Textron Defense Systems Scorpion team successfully achieved all of the exit criteria required to pass the review.
"Our team has worked diligently toward this CDR with a single goal in mind - getting this technology into the hands of America's warfighters," said Senior VP and General Manager Mark Catizone of Textron Defense Systems. "The Scorpion system is designed to be a force multiplier for our warfighters, keeping them out of harm's way while helping them accomplish their missions."
Textron Systems is a provider of solutions to the defense, homeland security and aerospace communities.
