System for Fleet Coordination and Control of Manned and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Land-based delivery systems are reaching their limits with the growing demand for product delivery. This is owing to the increased road network demand and difficulty finding delivery drivers. The best alternative for this supply chain problem is a remotely piloted aircraft system(RPAS) to deliver the packages. The RPAS systems have certain limitations,...

A Robust Photovaltaic Receiver for Free-Space Power Beaming
Researchers at GW have developed a novel, cost-effective, energy-efficient solution to produce electrical energy from a laser light source when transmitted through free-space in vacuum using a photovoltaic (PV) array. The light source can also include other man-made optical energy sources while the propagation medium can include mediums such as air...

Precision Firing Control of Pulsed Plasma Thrusters
Precision timing control of thruster operation of a spacecraft employing electric propulsion methods (e.g., pulsed electromagnetic plasma thrusters) is vital for space missions, and also difficult to achieve. When a thruster fires longer (or more powerfully), or shorter (or less powerfully), than required, or is fired in imprecise synchronization with...
