Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions
Amount: $749,517 Topic: AF182-005
Realistic target simulations are invaluable tools for training exercises, weapons qualification, and weapons evaluation. Ground target drones in particular provide realistic scenarios for air to ground and ground to ground firing exercises. Existing ground target drones cannot achieve the speeds or urban maneuverability that targets in the battlefield can. HADA promises to close that performance gap, and, through its GPS denied operational capability, enable testing of weapons and tactics in GPS contested areas. Moreover, HADA’s affordable price enables its widespread use to provide the maximum benefit to the Air Force. The HADA system consists of LSA Autonomy’s existing commercial Autonomous Computing Enclosure and Software (ACES) system, paired with a drive by wire kit derived from LSA Autonomy’s MDARS program.

LSA Autonomy proposes the High-speed Affordable ground target Drone with Autopilot (HADA) for Air Force air-to-ground live fire training and exercises, as well as weapons systems evaluation. The HADA heavily leverages LSA Autonomy’s existing commercial autonomy software and commercial vehicle platform designs. This dual-use technology results in a system with an exceptionally low price point of approximately 1/20 of the cost of the existing air target drone.

Affordable Surveillance Autonomous Platform
Amount: $99,197 Topic: A18-085
LSA Autonomy proposes the Affordable Security Autonomous Platform (ASAP). The autonomy software will be leveraged from LSA Autonomy’s Mobile Detection Assessment and Response System (MDARS) vehicle, a proven fully autonomous security platform with over 9000 miles logged in the field. Further, lessons learned from the MDARS military-grade sensor payload will be integrated into the low cost COTS sensor selection for ASAP. Additional cost reduction will be provided by leveraging an existing processing architecture that utilizes ruggedized COTS components. Finally, the ASAP drive-by-wire kit will be leveraged from LSA Autonomy’s all-electric drive by wire vehicle, the STRIKE-R.

Gallium Nitride (GaN) based 28 VDC Circuit Protection and Distribution
Amount: $99,790 Topic: A16-087
Land Sea Air Autonomy proposes the development of the Ground Vehicle Power Distribution System. The system based on GaN FET technology will be smaller and more efficient that current systems, making it possible to be deployed on any number of ground based vehicle systems. The system is compatible with wide variety of loads, providing over-current protection and minimizing false trip conditions. The ability to easily reconfigure the number of circuit channels while providing real-time status reduces development costs and risks for incorporation in future vehicles.

Micro-Climate Automated Recorder
Amount: $149,655 Topic: AF161-025
ABSTRACT: Land Sea Air Autonomy proposes the development of a tightly coupled 6 legged very-small unmanned-ground-vehicle (VSUGV) for micro-climate autonomous data recording.The proposed system will provide over 2 weeks ofmonitoring of local climatemeasurement such as wind, temperature as well as Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and Amonia gas content. The system will be able to operate the robots as individuals or part of a swarm enabling the operator to easily set group level directions and behaviors.The system will be build using LSA2's flexible robust architecture and be able to leverage previously developed technologies such as path planning,obstacle detection and collision avoidance.; BENEFIT: Multiple commercial benefits are expected from the development of this technology ranging including:Wildlife preservationClimate monitoringChemical monitoringPerimeter and quarantine security

Roadside Hazard Detector-LIDAR
Amount: $79,054 Topic: A13-036
LSA Autonomy purposes a ground vehicle mounted LIDAR-based methodology that employs advanced sensor processing algorithms to reliably detect partially obscured objects, such as roadside hazards, beneath light and medium vegetation. Our approach leverages both sensor domain and point cloud analysis. By employing our proven sensor domain analysis techniques, we are able to accurately pre-classify laser returns at the sensor's full data rate. Following the sensor domain analysis, a local world model is constructed from a temporal history of pre-classified LIDAR points. The local world model significantly improves the likelihood of penetrating obscuring foliage and accumulating detections from objects beneath the foliage. Objects that are partially obscured by clutter are identified as potential concealed hazards and reported to the user for further assessment. We leverage our existing LIDAR sensor processing framework to accelerate laser point classification and object recognition. The result is a robust and reliable detection algorithm for partially obscured roadside hazards.
