Abstract

DRAKE is the shipboard Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (CUAS) to meet the N96 CUAS Afloat Top Level Requirements (TLR). Funds will be used to develop, test, and integrate COTS-based hardware, software, and advanced techniques into DRAKE; thus improving its capability to detect, identify, and defeat UAS that threaten ships. Upgrades include hardware refresh with faster COTS processors to increase processing speed and reaction time (NextGen SDR), a COTS tablet (CDU 2.0) to improve situational awareness, and evaluation of COTS antennas to improve detection and defeat of UAS. The Diesel Fuel Outboard Motor Testing project supports the transition of the FY 2015 Rapid Innovation Fund "Affordable Multi-fuel Multi-engine Advanced Combatant Craft" program to the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Force. This technology minimizes the types of fuel required to increase standardization, flexibility, and interoperability during deployment while at the same time reduces total ownership cost. Testing of this technology shall determine the operational viability and any changes required to boat design to ensure safety and suitability.
