Small target motion reactivity for swarming

BACKGROUND Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) can be deployed as tactical swarms that coordinate autonomously for military operations, creating a need to hide vehicular activity for positive mission outcomes. Formation patterns and coordinated movement can make UAS swarms easier to identify as suspicious. Additionally, GPS dependencies make current solutions...

Singular Knee Identification for Emergence Recognition (SKIER)

BACKGROUND How can an observer determine when a collection of moving agents reflects coordination beyond a high traffic scenario? This kind of systematic coordination is referred to as “emergence,” which continues to lack a systemic mathematical definition that allows for rigorous behavior detection. Physical flocks and swarms that contain...

CENTAURS: Center Tube-launched Airframe with tube-through-motor propulsor for Unmanned Robot Swarms

BACKGROUND Fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are Fixed-wing UAVs offer advantages such as long range, endurance, payload capacity, altitude, aerodynamic efficiency, quiet operation, and are ideal for mapping large areas, surveying, and agricultural monitoring. However, fixed wing designs face limitations related to obstructed forward visuals...

PowerLine Unmanned Surfer (PLUS)

BACKGROUND Demands on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are continually and rapidly evolving, obviating simple modifications to existing platforms, particularly for increasing endurance of systems. The chief constraint on endurance of UAVs is onboard power capacity; the weight and space requirements of energy storage present an anathema to UAV flight...
