Fixed-Wing Drones for ISR and Communications in Contested and GPS-denied Environments

Oleg Yakimenko

Problem Statement


Unmanned Aerial Systems’ GPS and comms are subjected to frequent jamming on the modern battlefield as shown in Ukraine.

In contested areas packability, endurance, reliability, and autonomy are crucial to the warfighter.

We propose creating a tool based on state-of-the-art research that determines an envelope encompassing the smallest and carriable largest UAS based on computing payload and sensor suite to tackle these problems and advance state estimation AI.
