Flying Research Platform

Its goal is to develop a reusable fixed-wing aircraft that will serve as a versatile platform for experiments and research. In response to the current lack of such resources, the aircraft will support educational initiatives, foster research and innovation, and provide practical solutions to industry challenges.

By bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application,

Self-Healing PCB Circuits for Autonomous Space Electronics

Spacecraft electronics are vulnerable to damage from temperature extremes, impacts, and long missions. Traditional PCBs cannot repair themselves after cracks or fractures, risking total mission failure.

This invention introduces self-healing PCB circuits using embedded microfluid channels underneath the electrical traces. If a trace fractures, conductive liquid metal flows into the break and restores the circuit automatically.

Virtual Terrain

Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others died when their highly experienced helicopter pilot became disoriented after he lost sight of the terrain below. The pilot, Ara Zobayan, was flying under visual flight rules (VFR) in conditions that required instrument flight rules (IFR) due to low visibility and a low cloud ceiling. He climbed into the clouds,

Twin Terrain Mobility Tactical Vehicle

The Twin Terrain Mobility Tactical Vehicle (TTMTV) is a futuristic solution to the mobility restrictions of tracked vehicles (a.k.a. tanks) experienced in the Defense industry. It is generally known that wheeled vehicles lose traction in terrains such as mud, sand and snow. Tracked vehicles do much better on these terrains. However, tracked vehicles are incompatible with paved surfaces,

Silent Sentry: A Software-Defined Passive Sensor for Counter-Stealth and Battlefield Survivability

What problem does your design idea solve?

On the modern battlefield, a critical dilemma exists: to see, one must emit energy with active radar, which instantly reveals one's position to be jammed or targeted. This makes surveillance a high-stakes gamble. Furthermore, the proliferation of stealth technology has rendered many conventional radar systems obsolete,
