Additive Manufacturing Adds Savings, Capability To UAS

Being Used For Advanced Avionics For Military Drones

Avionics component size, weight and power needs are typical watch items for any aircraft, but make the requirements even smaller for unmanned systems, and the associated challenges become a priority worthy of a small business solution.

Ground And Flight Tests Highlight CODE-equipped UASs’ Ability To Collaboratively Sense And Adapt

In a recent test series at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona, DARPA’s Collaborative Operations in Denied Environment (CODE) program demonstrated the ability of CODE-equipped Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) to adapt and respond to unexpected threats in an anti-access area denial (A2AD) environment. The UASs efficiently shared information, cooperatively planned and allocated mission objectives, made coordinated tactical decisions, and collaboratively reacted to a dynamic, high-threat environment with minimal communication.

Work Intended To Provide A Protective Finish That Will Increase The Lifespan Of The Airplanes

The Airmen working across two shifts in the work center, paint and renovate the aircraft and equipment assigned to the Air Force’s largest combat F-16 Fighting Falcon wing.
