Before beyond line-of-sight UAV operations can be permitted, three key requirements must be met.UAVs must be capable of safe flight without relying on a remote operator; they must be able to avoid static and moving obstacles; and must be able to guarantee accurate navigation in the absence of GPS.We propose a 24-month program to develop a family of miniature navigation and guidance solutions that ...

While unmanned air vehicles are starting to operate in complex urban and indoor environments, many challenges still remain. In the proposed project we will develop a team of flying robots that can explore and map environments such as networks of underground tunnels. We will address three key challenges: First, the tunnel network topology is unknown and will have to be discovered incrementally by t ...

In this Phase II SBIR project, Daniel H. Wagner Associates (DHWA), with NASA?s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and Spatial Integrated Systems (SIS) as our subcontractors, will develop a high definition Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) and Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) modeling and simulation (M&S) system, initially focused on the DARPA Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Continuous Trail Unmanned Vesse ...

Our objective is to provide a semi-automated system to generate and verify scalable, high fidelity, multi-dimensional, social networks with realistic distributional, temporal and spatial characteristics as networks and as event sequences. This enables the user to generate networks varying in size, node attributes, geo-temporal characteristics, consistency with other networks, and reflection of kno ...

Piasecki Aircraft Corp (PiAC) and teammate SkEyes propose to develop the KlearPath-Mini, an Optical Guidance System incorporating a novel, miniature LADAR and EO imaging suite in a package suitable for small UAS (SUAS). The KlearPath-Mini will provide robust navigation and obstacle avoidance to a SUAS, allowing safe flight from launch to recovery without outside intervention. The system uses an ...
