What attrition-tolerant, autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can incapacitate a small merchant ship?
The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) is looking for information about attrition-tolerant, autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can conduct missions to incapacitate a small merchant ship. UAVs of interest should have the following specifications: A Technical Readiness Level of 7 to 9. Flight range of 50 to 500 nautical miles without refuel/recharge. Attrition-tolerant: …
What open architectures, standards, and communication protocols exist for collaborative and autonomous unmanned systems?
The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) is seeking open architectures, standards, interface documentation, and communication protocols that demonstrate effective multivehicle, collaborative autonomy for various modalities of unmanned systems (UxS). Of particular interest are solutions from industry and academia that can be incorporated into a future government design to meet the Warfighter’s needs. The solution…
