LEADING OFF
The Army is seeking advanced fuel cell auxiliary power units (APUs) to reduce signature and greenhouse gas emissions for unmanned ground vehicles, modular command equipment, and power generation.
IN TECHNOLOGY
Decreasing the noise in optical detection could increase chances of deploying advanced optical technologies in SWaP-constrained systems.
ADAP payloads lure missiles away from their intended targets with advanced electronic techniques, and are an upgrade to the existing Nulka decoy.
Two RTX business units, Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace, will support Boeing with Pratt & Whitney GTF engines, and Collins nacelles and engine accessories.
Future missions encompass a wide range of capabilities, including spacecraft repair, refueling, relocation, and retrofitting, as well as robot-assisted deployment, assembly, and aggregation, all aimed at extending the lifetime of missions.
IN CONTRACTS
The machine learning system is trained using high-fidelity physics-based simulated data and actual data recorded from test flights.
The purpose of this contract is to acquire Earth observation data and related services from commercial sources.
Extra-large UUVs typically are autonomous mini-submarines that measure about seven feet in diameter for launch from shore or from large military ships.
The software solution will be an enabler to the implementation and scalability of UAM and provides traffic management services in Korea.
