UAV Corp (UMAV)
subsidiary, Research in Flight (RIF), and Auburn
University receives 1St
phase of Air Force AWERX
contract for an
Electric Extended Range Airship with Modular
Payload
(e2RAMP)
Port St. Joe-Wewahitchka,
Florida and Auburn, Alabama -- March 2, 2021 -- InvestorsHub
NewsWire -- UAV Corp's (OTC
Pink: UMAV) Skyborne Technology (STI), Research in Flight (RIF)
as Prime contractor and Auburn University have teamed up to explore
the potential of STI's aerial transport platform for civilian and
military support missions. With support of AWERX, a United States
Air Force program, the three partners have recently launched Phase
I leveraging NASA software for the design of a sub-scale flying
prototype. This prototype will serve as a platform for testing and
data collection in preparation for a proposed full-scale vehicle
with expansive logistics and support applications. Insights gained
from the tests will allow computer-simulated scenario modeling to
assess the STI DATT tether-airship platform for various
applications.
"STI's platforms are
designed for versatility as both an airship and an aerostat (DATT
System), according to Skyborne's CEO Mr. Michael Lawson, which
enables maximum versatility for support and rescue missions." STI's
newest platform under development will be electrically powered with
vertical take-off and landing capabilities for unrestricted access,
intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance in difficult
terrain.
"These contracts are the
beginning of what expect to be long term relationships that have
developed thru our many years of UAV and Airship technology
research that we believe will benefit both our shareholders and
regional communities," stated William Robinson, Chairman of UAV
Corp.
The "STI" DATT platform is
to offer the ultimate versatility of aerial transport and support
at affordable costs. Insights gained during phase I allow the
team to adapt the STI's DATT platform to specific requirements
during future phases. "We are very excited at the prospect of
applying our lab's tools and capabilities to the analysis of STI's
novel and very versatile air vehicle concept." says Dr. Imon
Chakraborty, the project lead faculty at the Department of
Aerospace Engineering at Auburn University. The Phase I project
runs for six months and flight tests are anticipated to take place
during summer 2021.
