Missile Defense System By Laser

PROBLEM: One of the problems with beam scaling systems, as well as command systems, is that the surface-to-air missile must have great maneuverability to intercept an evasive target. As they approach a target, beam-scaling missiles generally must adjust their turns to continue the rate of climb against the target. At high speeds,

STARS - A Deployable CubeSat Telescope Superstructure for Near Earth Asteroid Detection and Planetary Defense

Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) detection is crucial due to the potential threats and opportunities these celestial bodies present. Identifying and tracking NEAs is vital for planetary defense. While catastrophic asteroid impacts are rare, their severe consequences necessitate early detection. This allows scientists to assess threats and develop strategies for deflection or mitigation, protecting life and property on Earth. Additionally,

Safe2Ditch Technology

Highly capable small UAVs provide substantial business opportunity, especially if allowed to operate in the suburban market. Reliability issues force the use of a safety pilot for each vehicle in operation, which is cost-prohibitive for large scale commercial applications and limits the use of these vehicles to line-of-site (LOS) operation.
