NEWPORT, R.I. (Sept. 9, 2015) Students assigned to U.S. Naval War College (NWC) view static displays of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) as part of the NWC's Unmanned Systems and Conflict in the 21st Century elective course. Scan Eagle, Puma All Environment (AE), Wasp AE, and Switchblade UAVs were on display and provided students first-hand exposure to the systems, capabilities, and applications. The purpose of the course is to acquaint students with the scientific, ethical, and operational issues inherent in the employment of unmanned and robotic systems in the national security context.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Near the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a space agency team installed and tested hazard avoidance instrumentation on a Huey helicopter. Led by the Johnson Space Center and supported by Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Langley Research Center, the Autonomous Landing Hazard Avoidance Technology, or ALHAT, laser system provides a planetary lander the ability to precisely land safely on a surface while detecting any dangerous obstacles such as rocks, holes and slopes. Just north of Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility runway, a rock- and crater-filled planetary scape has been built so engineers can test the ability to negotiate away from risks.

In the Swarmathon competition at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, students were asked to develop computer code for the small robots, programming them to look for "resources" in the form of AprilTag cubes, similar to barcodes. Teams developed search algorithms for the Swarmies to operate autonomously, communicating and interacting as a collective swarm similar to ants foraging for food. In the spaceport's second annual Swarmathon, 20 teams representing 22 minority serving universities and community colleges were invited to develop software code to operate these innovative robots known as "Swarmies" to help find resources when astronauts explore distant locations, such as the moon or Mars.
