Drone Munition Payload Adapter - Small

Tool-Less Drone and Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Payload Adapter for Training, Demonstration, and Controlled Payload Integration

The Drone Munition Payload Adapter – Small is a lightweight, modular mounting solution designed to support the attachment of inert payloads to drones and unmanned aerial systems (UAS), also referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), for training, demonstration, and controlled testing applications. This adapter enables personnel to safely simulate payload integration and release concepts without modifying the aircraft.

Designed for rapid installation, this payload adapter utilizes a tool-less attachment system, allowing it to be mounted or removed without permanent modification to the drone platform. This supports flexible use across training environments where different payload configurations may be required.

38 Sierra’s Drone Munition Payload Adapter – Small is designed to support Drone Incident Response Training (DIRT) and related programs by enabling realistic demonstration of how payloads may be attached to and deployed from UAS platforms, improving understanding of drone-delivered threat systems and responder awareness.
