Navmar Applied Sciences Corporation's Steve Hamilton, lead TigerShark pilot, and Brad Petty, mission commander and pilot, unload the crate containing the TigerShark at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in California.

Daryl Ferguson attaches the TigerShark’s tail at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California.

The fully assembled TigerShark unmanned aircraft system, seen here near a hangar at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California, is expected to soon be flying missions.

The Navmar Applied Sciences Corporation’s TigerShark prepares for its final takeoff at Edwards Air Force Base for the Unmanned Aircraft Systems integration in the National Airspace Systems, Flight Test Series Six (FT6) project. FT6 flight tests took place at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California and focused on low size weight and power sensors for Detect and Avoid (DAA) operations in controlled airspace to inform the FAA through the RTCA Special Committee DAA Working Group on the phase 2 minimum operational performance standards for DAA and air-to-air radar.
