With over 50 proposals received, the Autonomy Prime First Fly-Off (Call 001), is now closed. The team is diligently working to evaluate these alternate navigation solutions for small UAVs, award contracts, and start flying!
Autonomy Prime
Autonomy Prime is working to evaluate, iterate, and mature emerging missions and applied autonomy technologies into fielded capabilities.
Lines of Effort
Autonomy Proving Grounds
- Outward facing “tech scouting”
- Low cost Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) test beds
- Multi-program high performance computing and data pipeline
Multi-Vehicle Control Interface
- Human/operator machine interfaces
- Government architecture for app-based capabilities
- Remotely supervised autonomous cargo aircraft
- Rapid autonomy kits – partnering with federal organizations to inform regulations and certification standards
Enabling Technologies
- Mission capabilities for early risk reduction
- Bolster tech-base of autonomy related companies
- Examples: Detect and Avoid (DAA), Modeling and Simulation (M&S), Run-Time Assurance (RTA) and Alternative Positioning, Navigation & Timing (Alt-PNT)
