CLEAR FOR TAKEOFF
Areas of interest include hydro-dynamics, hydro-acoustics, mechanical engineering, naval submarine architecture, and electro-mechanical technologies.
UNMANNED DESIGN TRENDS
ALTIUS has one that launches from A-size sonobuoy canisters; a tube- and air-launched version; and a high-endurance bomb-rack-launched model.
LUSV will go for 4,500 miles amid waves as high as 13 feet, and generate 75 kilowatts of 450-volt, 60 Hz, three-phase power for on-board payloads.
Extra-large UUVs and their weapons and sensors typically are autonomous mini-submarines that measure about seven feet in diameter.
Models would be used for anti-submarine warfare (ASW), amphibious landings, mine and special warfare, sea bottom warfare, and mission planning.
UNMANNED BUSINESS
Aerosonde has a Lycoming EL-005 heavy-fuel engine; and can accommodate multi-intelligence sensors, electronic warfare (EW), and communications payloads.
The Persistent Systems MPU5 is an advanced, scalable MANET radio, with secure networking, as well as data, video, voice, and Android computer system.
The AeroVironment Puma 3 AE is a hand-launched and soldier-carried unmanned aircraft system designed for land and maritime operations.
JADC2 to develop and demonstrate systems across air, land, sea, space, cyber, and electromagnetic spectrum that enable new warfighting capabilities.
UNMANNED PRODUCTS
The MUVE B330 is a continuous biological detector and collector that provides drones with real-time monitoring of biological threats while on the move.
The system covers 20 MHz to 6 GHz, and displays a list of all active remote-control signals detected for commercial-grade drone data links.
The ZnO radiation-hardened thin-film transistors technology is for satellites, crewed orbiting space stations, and deep-space exploration.
The TOUGHBOOK 40 is more than a pound lighter than the previous generation, and has 14-inch FHD touchscreen display for increased readability.
