USMC Tier II UAS concept demonstrator

We designed, developed, integrated, and tested every major segment of the Marine Corps Tier II Concept Demonstrator, and took it from drawing board to the field in 120 days. Every component had to be handled by two Marines under a 150-pound lift restriction, which drove the design of the airframe, the launcher, and the recovery system alike.

• Five T-16 fully autonomous aircraft, built and flown
• Custom ground control station, NATO STANAG compliant
• Pneumatic launcher and transporter system
• Net capture recovery system
• Miniaturized electronic fuel injection developed in house
• EO, IR, and laser sensor payload on a multi-axis gimbal
• Target location error held under 10 meters
• ROVER III integration for downrange video

The complete system was then tested under simulated combat conditions at Naval Weapons Center China Lake.

53d Test & Evaluation Group, Detachment 2

We stood up Detachment 2 at Beale Air Force Base to provide end-to-end test and evaluation for the RQ-4 Global Hawk and the U-2. The detachment fielded several U-2 ISR weapon systems and led integration work across both platforms.

• ASARS-2A radar, IQIP software upgrade — force development evaluation
• Dual Data Link 2 — seven OCONUS operational assessment flights from Al Dhafra Air Base, UAE
• AN/ALQ-221 electronic warfare system — combined DT/OT test plan co-authored with Lockheed Martin
• ASIP initial integration on both the U-2 and the RQ-4
• SYERS-2A and Optical Bar Camera integration

Global Hawk ACTD maintenance analysis

NASA contracted us to conduct the ACTD Global Hawk maintenance analysis. The work was instrumental in securing the transfer of air vehicles AV1 and AV6 from the U.S. Air Force to NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, where both airframes continued in high-value research service.
