SBIR/STTR Award attributes
The purpose of this program is to develop and demonstrate rapid, distributed, on-demand, small-scaled, domestic manufacturing of unmanned systems capable of supporting multiple payloads depending on the situation. The proposed system should be capable of meeting multiple focus areas including (1) Agile manufacturing Unmanned Systems (UxS) products, (2) Control systems for unmanned platforms, and, (3) Notional payload concepts based on using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies. Hydronalix and its team have already demonstrated the capability to manufacture UxS for a variety of applications including disaster relief, communication, situational awareness, supply delivery, victim identification and extraction. Hydronalix will manufacture and demonstrate UxS for various applications. We will demonstrate these prototype systems with Navy Fleet operators for preliminary evaluation. It is anticipated that there will be initial value in a family of systems for subsurface, air, and surface platforms with 100% interchangeable subsystems and components.
