Morphing Wing Phase I SBIR Project funded by DARPA

Munitions are often deployed on ballistic trajectories toward their targets with considerable accuracy. However, they cannot be retasked to strike other targets of opportunity while enroute. To be able to respond to dynamic re-planning, there are several enabling technologies required to retask a munition to achieve a new mission objective. These include a guidance and navigation package, a communications link, and adaptive control surface capability to provide an agile maneuvering capability to avoid obstacles.

Techno-Sciences, Inc. (TSi), in collaboration with ILC Dover, Inc. (ILC) and the U.S. Army at Picatinny Arsenal are working to design and develop deployable control surfaces that can exploit innovative adaptive and morphing structures technology at minimal cost and weight to achieve highly maneuverable munitions that can be retasked to achieve new mission objectives.
