Funds applied research to develop new methods for separating and analyzing the sounds made by small drones flying in a swarm. The goal is to use where the sounds come from (spatial) and their frequencies (spectral) to:

• send and receive data encoded in those sounds, and
• help drones determine each other’s relative positions within the group.

The objective of this topic is to conduct applied research toward an innovative capability to achieve spatio-spectral decomposition of sound produced by small uncrewed aerial systems (sUAS) within a swarm to enable the transmission and reception of information encoded on those sound waves and su… Show More
