SwRI has been a leading innovator of unmanned systems for both ground and aerial vehicles used by military and defense clients for more than two decades. Our automated driving systems have been deployed in seven countries on four continents, including two unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in Afghanistan in 2014. Our work has helped government and commercial clients advance the capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to perform advanced functions. SwRI’s UAV and UAS research spans ground control and avionics systems used in large unmanned aircraft to development of standards for testing of high-end, commercially available drones used in search-and-rescue missions.
