RESEARCH / AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

Out of the computer.
Into the world.

Autonomy brings software into contact with motion, uncertainty, limited power, and an environment that does not read the specification.

Air, water,
and everything around them.

Our interests include novel fixed-wing aircraft design research, alongside broader work in aerial and marine systems.

We also explore supporting fields such as communications, energy systems, and human-machine interaction. These areas contribute to the broader study of autonomous systems.

Awareness of the airspace.

Our Counter-UAS radar programme is in the prototype phase, exploring the detection and tracking of small uncrewed aircraft. The work tackles the limits of detection, with indicative ranges that depend on radar cross section and operating conditions.
