Red Wolf and Green Wolf, developed under L3Harris’ Wolf Pack program, were tested through launches from fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft and ground-based platforms. The systems completed their 60th flight test earlier this year. Developed in line with the requirements of the U.S. Armed Forces, the vehicles can communicate with each other during missions, retarget in flight and be configured for recovery.
Red Wolf and Green Wolf demonstrated their ability to operate from different platforms through 13 fixed-wing aircraft launches, three rotary-wing aircraft launches and 44 ground launches. The company stated that Red Wolf was designed for kinetic strike missions, while Green Wolf was equipped with an electronic warfare payload. By using the same host air vehicle for both systems, L3Harris aims to reduce integration requirements and the logistics burden.
Tested with Different Mission Payloads
The systems were tested with various mission equipment, including communications systems, electronic warfare equipment, seeker systems and autonomous flight technologies. Wolf Pack also supported different mission payloads across its 60 flights. These included 10 radios, six electronic warfare payloads, one seeker and two autonomy engines.
L3Harris stated that Red Wolf and Green Wolf can be used for electronic support, electronic attack and long-range precision strike missions. In addition, the systems, supported by autonomous technologies, enable multiple vehicles to operate in a coordinated manner within the same mission. As the U.S. Department of Defense accelerates investment in launched effects and autonomous technologies, the company said Red Wolf and Green Wolf provide a proven and scalable path for integrating expendable unmanned systems into current and future force structures.
