C130 Gremlin recovery

 

As part of the fourth test series, the Gremlins Demonstration System flew three GAVs, previously flown in 2020, to conduct four individual flight sorties for a combined 6.7 hours of flight, including the 1.4-hour airborne recovery mission. The testing pace required a quick-turn refurbishment for one of the GAVs that took approximately 24 hours to complete.

This recovery was assisted by International Air Response.
