SHARK — Small Hybrid Aerial Refueling Kit
AFRL/AFWERX Small Hybrid Aerial Refueling Kit effort: a small-form-factor, podded, platform-agnostic aerial refueling mechanism that fits within an aircraft's outer mold line, letting fighter-sized and non-traditional tanker aircraft refuel boom-receptacle-equipped receivers without a large dedicated tanker; design awards to Eaton, Legionnaire International, and Dynetics (2024).
