Rhoman Aerospace received a $74,724 U.S. Air Force SBIR Phase I award for night-time, no-emit UAV autonomy in GPS-denied terrain.

  • The $74,724 SBIR Phase I award began on May 5, 2023 under contract FA8649-23-P-0852.
  • Rhoman's vision-based navigation work targeted no-emit UAV autonomy in unmapped, GPS-denied terrain.
  • The project adapted the system for night operation on a Teal Golden Eagle UAV for USSOCOM.

Rhoman Aerospace develops vision navigation, adaptive flight control and synthetic-GPS software for UAVs without reliable satellite positioning. Its software integrates through PX4 or ArduPilot, existing cameras and MAVLink payloads for contested-airspace and precision-payload missions.
