Research abstract
The objective of this STTR effort is to demonstrate the capability of small autonomous Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) to be launched from a P-3 aircraft via its size "A" sonobuoy launch system. The technology innovations that we propose to develop and demonstrate under this Phase I STTR effort address the need to (1) Design a small UAV that can successfully be launched from a size "A" sonobuoy (2) Design a size "A" sonobuoy that can successfully launch a small UAV (3) Design a P-3 UAV Control System. Our proposed approach is to leverage a BATCAM Micro-Air Vehicle (MAV) design that has been previously designed by the government to launch from a slim cylindrical canister and a UAV flight planning system that is also free to the government and in use by over 13,000 users. Under this Phase I effort we shall leverage a large amount of current and previous work to develop the MAV, Sonobuoy, and RF system requirements, and also provide a top-level design for the integration of the Sonobuoy Tube Launched UAV into the existing P-3 aircraft's sonobuoy system.
