Abstract:
Due to the limited number of P-3 aircraft, the most economical and expeditious way to enhance operations and ensure crew safety is to incorporate a low-cost expendable Sonochute Launched Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) or (SL-UAS). Due to size, power, and weight limitations it is unrealistic to apply traditional gimbal technology to these small vehicles, however, the stability of the platforms, coupled with their small field-of-view sensor necessitates the capability to command and stabilize their sensors to provide useful imagery. By using a MEMS Scan Mirror we will be able to address the power, size, and weight restrictions of the UAS that prohibit the use of traditional gimbal technology, while providing a stabilized pointing system with a large field-of-regard for the IR camera imagery. Additional benefits of the system include: Pointing capability allows for 90o circular Field-of-Regard (FOR) Inertial image stabilization allowing for longer integration periods while maintaining Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) Step-Stare capability allows for buildup of mosaiced scenesSmall Business Information at Submission:ARETE ASSOC.
