The project belongs to the advanced projects division of the United States Air Force (AFWERX), and the design is carried out by the North American aviation company Piasecki in collaboration with Skunk Works.

According to a report from El Confidencial, CEO John Piasecki has indicated that he hopes to “demonstrate Ares’ unique air duct configuration, which allows a seamless transition between hovering and forward flight with fixed wings.”

On the other hand, its design allows operations from a limited space, whether from the deck of a ship to any terrain in a military campaign.

It allows the deployment of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence (C4I), intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), combat, small combat forces and logistics modules.
