Company will assist NAVAIR with control systems MORGANTOWN, W.Va.,
Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Augusta Systems, a provider of sensor
system technologies, was awarded a $2.4 million contract to assist
the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) with development and
management of small robotic vehicle sensor systems featuring
advanced control algorithms. "Unmanned vehicles are essentially
mobile sensor systems. In order for small unmanned systems to
achieve maximum mission performance, they need effective sensor
data alignment, processing and transmission," said Patrick Esposito
II, chief operating officer of Augusta Systems. "We are pleased to
assist the Navy in its efforts to increase the capabilities of
these robotic vehicles." Augusta Systems will provide technologies
that deliver at-point sensor processing, at-point data filtering,
resilient communications and rapid data alignment from diverse
sensor sources. The company will assist the Navy with efforts to
enhance the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR)
capabilities of unmanned systems, including the ability to achieve
coordinated behavior -- that is, to operate in unison independent
of operator control. "Multiple unmanned vehicles, when linked in a
cooperative fashion, operate like a mobile sensor network
gathering, processing and sharing information. Our sensor system
enabling technologies can help individual vehicles as well as the
entire sensor network to operate in an efficient and effective
manner," said John Moody, vice president of systems engineering for
Augusta Systems. Subcontractors to Augusta Systems on the effort
include AAI Corporation, a United Industrial Corporation (NYSE:UIC)
subsidiary; NewVectors LLC, a for- profit subsidiary of Altarum
Institute; West Virginia University and West Virginia University
Institute of Technology. Last year, Augusta Systems was awarded a
$750,000 contract from NAVAIR for related work to improve the
ability of unmanned vehicle sensor systems to locate and recognize
objects, an achievement known as automatic target recognition.
