Revolutionary UAV Developed By OSU
A new small-factor propulsion system is being developed by the Oklahoma State researchers for the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The propulsion system is going to be used in unmanned aircraft by infantrymen to inspect hostile areas and for surveillance, if successful.
The aircraft powered by the revolutionary propulsion system will be even smaller than 6-inches, providing a useful upgrade to the UAV equipment currently soldiers use.
An associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, Jamey Jacob, stated “We are still too early in the development process to determine to what level it will work, but we are confident we can make this work,” because they want the surveillance to work both in urban areas and indoors, which the current UAV equipment, Dragon Eye, isn’t capable of.
