Description
Toyon Research proposes to develop a system that will enable autonomous execution of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) reconnaissance missions by mounted or dismounted units. The proposed solution will use a team of Small Unmanned Airborne Systems controlled using Toyon Decentralized Asset Manager architecture. The system uses multi-mission SUAS units equipped with video, traditional ISR and CBRN sensing technologies. The DAM will allow an operator to launch and control the SUAS from a ground vehicle and provide reconnaissance and targeting support while in transit. Successful deployment of the capability will enable CBRN detection to be part of the tactical reconnaissance. We will collaborate with stakeholders from the acquisition and operational communities to define the ConOps, nominal requirements, and demonstrate the feasibility of autonomy for CBRN applications.
