tern sidearm capture system tests amp concept video
Bookmarked 468 weeks ago
darpas sidearm research effort seeks to create a self-contained portable apparatus able to horizontally launch and retrieve unmanned aerial systems uass of up to 900 pounds in december 2016 aurora flight sciences successfully tested a full-scale technology demonstration system that repeatedly captured a 400-pound lockheed martin fury uas accelerated to representative flight speeds via an external catapult the system is capable of recovering aircraft up to 1100 poundsexceeding darpas design objectivesand furthers the projects goal of supporting larger uass up to 1320 pounds sidearm is part of darpas individual investment in phase 1 research for tern a joint program between darpa and the us navys office of naval research onr now that demonstration of the capture system is complete darpa is working to identify potential transition partners and exploring using sidearm with other uas platformsfor more information visit: http:wwwdarpamilnews-events2017-02-06

aurora to build darpas vtol x-plane
Bookmarked 516 weeks ago
aurora flight sciences announced today that the defense advanced research projects agency darpa has awarded the company the prime contract for phase 2 of the agencys vertical takeoff and landing experimental plane vtol x-plane programvtol x-plane seeks to develop a technology demonstrator that could: achieve a top sustained flight speed of 300 kt-400 kt raise aircraft hover efficiency from 60 percent to at least 75 percent present a more favorable cruise lift-to-drag ratio of at least 10 up from 5-6 carry a useful load of at least 40 percent of the vehicles projected gross weight of 10000-12000 poundsthe aurora teams design for its unmanned aircraft named lightningstrike seeks to provide an approximately 50-percent increase in speed over existing vtol aircraft designed for comparable mission applicationsto view the multimedia release go to:http:wwwmultivucomplayersenglish7617851-aurora-flight-sciences-vtol-xplane-darpa

darpa just created a completely new way for helicopters to land
Bookmarked 540 weeks ago
darpa has developed automated robotic technology that will allow helicopters to land in places they039ve never been able to land before helicopters are prized for their ability to maneuver in air with ease but are beset by the fact that their landing gear requires a fairly level surface to set down uponthe us government is aiming toremove that helicopter handicapthrough the development of robotic landing gear researchers from the georgia institute of technology working with the defense advanced research projects agency recentlydemonstratedthe robotic system developed under the mission adaptive rotor program the gear works through the use of self-articulating legs that expand and feel for the ground as the helicopter lands in flight the legs contract up next to the fuselagethe foot of each jointed leg is equipped with a sensor to automatically determine the proper angle needed in order to keep the helicopter as level and secure as possible while touching downthe robotic gear could allow helicopters toland on rough and slanted terrainsthat were previously out of reachand make the difficult task of settling on moving surfaces less risky

darpa captive air amphibious transporters caat for disaster relief
Bookmarked 701 weeks ago
this video depicts testing of a 15 scale demonstrator of the captive air amphibious transporters caat the caat has air-filled pontoons on a tank tread-like design enabling them to carry containers over water and directly onto shore the vehicle is part of darpa039s tactically expandable maritime platform temp http:gousagovvf3 program which seeks new sea and air delivery systems to enable direct support to disaster zones from offshore container ships all technologies developed under temp are transportable using standard 20-foot or 40-foot commercial shipping containers this technology demonstrator is jointly funded with the office of naval research who is looking at it for potential use as an amphibious transport for themarinesnavy

darpa039s soft robot: now you see it now you don039t
Bookmarked 701 weeks ago
harvard university researchers working under darpa039s maximum mobility and manipulation m3 program recently demonstrated the ability to manufacture low-cost silicone robots with microfluidic channels that allow for air and fluids to be pumped in to control movement color and temperaturein this video a soft robot walks onto a bed of rocks and is filled with fluid to match the color of the rocks and break up the robot039s shape the robot moves at a speed of approximately 40 meters per hour absent the colored fluid it can move at approximately 67 meters per hour future research will be directed at smoothing the movements however speed is less important than the robot039s flexibility soft robots are useful because they are resilient and can maneuver through very constrained spaces for this demonstration the researchers used tethers to attach the control system and to pump pressurized gases and liquids into the robot tethered operation reduces the size and weight of such robots by leaving power sources and pumps off-board but future prototypes could incorporate that equipment in a self-contained system at a pumping rate of 225 ml per minute color change in the robot required 30 seconds once filled the color layers require no power to sustain the colorfor additional information on darpa039s robotics programs see: http:gousagovuel this video has been sped up the actual duration is 2m 27s
