El Segundo CA (SPX) Jul 29, 2004 - Northrop Grumman is helping the U.S. Air Force develop collision-avoidance technology that will make it safer for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to share airspace with piloted air vehicles.
Before we dive in, let’s define a critical set of terms relevant to unmanned military vehicles: Man-in-the-Loop— A person is actively controlling the vehicle via a direct control interface. Examples of this concept are Predator and Reaper unmanned aircraft, which have pilots loo...
The US Air Force (USAF) has received the first anti-unmanned aerial system (UAS) laser weapon system from Raytheon to tackle the threat of enemy drones. The high-energy laser counter-UAS will undergo an overseas field test. The year-long overseas deployment will test the performance of the ...
The US Air Force (USAF) is evaluating a standardized dispenser system that could be mounted on medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to precisely deliver supplies and weapons. UAV Battlelab is leading the effort to integrate Textron Systems' Guided Dispenser System, onto unmanned platforms ...
