ARGONAS

Argonas is a large ground effect aircraft designed to rapidly deliver supporting combat firepower to surface and coastal ground forces. The features of the Argonas are not definitive. The purpose of the configuration design effort is to understand what different features would be needed in such a vehicle.  And, more importantly, discover the intersections and opportunities to thoroughy integrate technologies and and create a new physical form that performs as more than a sum of it’s parts.
