National Technical Systems, a provider of engineering and testing services, has declared that it will display its unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) payload POD at the future North America conference from August 6 to 9 in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
Northrop Grumman has offered to be the chief sponsor for the 2012 Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) student competitions. Through these competitions, high school as well as college students globally can have the unique opportunity of designing, developing and operating unmanned systems for marine, land and air applications.
In the last few years, Navy scientists, along with research institutions around the world, have been engineering resilient robots for minesweeping and other risky underwater missions. The ultimate goal is to design completely autonomous robots that can navigate and map cloudy underwater environments— without any prior knowledge of those environments — and detect mines as small as an iPod.
The application of robot submarines for mapping and monitoring the seas across the UK have been targeted by two projects. These projects have received £720,000 in funding. As part of investigation, this initiative will collect data regarding future government policy on the protection of the marine environment.
