Official Description

This topic seeks innovative research and development efforts toward a low-cost acoustic rainbow emitter attached to a UAS. Acoustic sensors are becoming more prolific on the battlefield and reducing the signature of a UAS will increase the survivability of ARSOF UAS in a non-permissive environment. As a part of this feasibility study, the proposers shall address all viable overall system design options with respective specifications on the key system attributes. Key system attributes include: T...
