Research abstract
The Air Force (DAF) seeks the rapid development of modular equipment tailored forwartime readiness. This endeavor is underpinned by the desired capability for high-ratecomposite manufacturing systems. Attritable aircraft, valued for their expendability andadaptability, play a pivotal role in this pursuit. The objective of this Sequential SBIR IITACFI effort is to research, develop, and demonstrate advanced scalable roboticmanufacturing factories able to produce a variety of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)
