The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has downselected Dynetics, Inc. to progress with Phase 3 of its Gremlins 'aircraft carrier in the sky' programme, it was announced on 18 April.

The Dynetics-led team, which includes Kratos Unmanned Aerial Systems, Inc., was selected over a rival offering led by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) to proceed with the final phase of the effort to launch groups of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from multiple types of military aircraft.
Phase 1 (Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Lockheed Martin; GA-ASI and Dynetics) of the Gremlins programme showed the feasibility of airborne UAV launch and recovery systems that would require minimal modification to the host aircraft, while Phase 2 (GA-ASI and Dynetics) sought to mature two system concepts to enable this 'aircraft carriers in the sky' concept.
