Aug 1, 2024 · Award · Rhoman Aerospace · Avionics

Rhoman Aerospace received a $1.9 million U.S. Air Force SBIR Phase II award for no-emit global positioning and autonomy across UAV and other autonomous platforms.

  • The $1.9 million SBIR Phase II award began on August 1, 2024 under contract FA2541-24-C-B018.
  • The project covers a modular alternative-positioning payload using star tracking, ambient signal sensing, sensor fusion and NVIDIA compute.
  • The planned demonstrations include a supersonic sub-scale UAV, with compatibility extending to Group II-IV UAV, surface vehicles and ground vehicles.

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.
