CLEAR FOR TAKEOFF
The Orion Heavy Lift can carry payloads of nearly nine pounds at 300 feet, and 11 pounds at 164 feet height, for flight durations of 50 hours.
UNMANNED DESIGN TRENDS
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a propeller design optimization method that paves the way for quiet, efficient electric aviation.
SITA will deploy its expertise in air transport for the emerging UAM industry, developing new operating standards and a digital-first passenger experience.
The aim of the project is to research the survivability of Li-ion ESS in the event of a high-energy impact.
LADDIS focuses on diamond semiconductors substrates with diameters larger than 50 millimeters with good electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties.
UNMANNED BUSINESS
GEODSS tracks space objects like satellites from its three global sites located in Socorro, N.M.; Maui, Hawaii; and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
A high-temperature superconducting magnet can run at very high electrical currents with near-zero resistance to sweep magnetic influence mines.
MK2 MTRS provides stand-off capability to detect, identify, and dispose of IEDs and related hazards using ground robots with IED-disposal payloads.
This research in UUV swarming will include methods for localization, navigation, and communications for coordinated multi-UUV swarming operations.
UNMANNED PRODUCTS
Orca ASICs are energy efficient, and are for low-Earth-orbit satellites due to their low susceptibility to latch-up and single event effects (SEE).
The DTS1+ can store and protect data on helicopters, jet fighters, unmanned vehicles, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft.
Rad-hard space SoC enables capabilities to be packaged in small satellite bus sizes to help lower launch costs and accelerate industry growth.
The Ladybug6 offers precision trigger control and resolution, and is designed to capture 360-degree spherical images from moving platforms.
