Multi-Domain Unmanned System (UxS)

Abstract

The Multi-Domain UxS program will develop capabilities to enable both individual and teams of unmanned systems to span the various physical domains (ground-air, ground-sea, air-sea). The purpose of the Multi-Domain UxS is to enable affordable and efficient disruptive capabilities that the U.S. military does not possess today. The program will develop morphing, cross domain structures (mechanical and hydrodynamic) utilizing efficient power and propulsion systems. It will leverage emerging collaborative algorithms and approaches, while developing novel attachment and detachment mechanisms to support cross domain sensing, traversal, and mission execution. The systems prototype will demonstrate deployment from one domain and then modification in deployment to execute missions in another physical domain.
