The Robotics Team has been busy this past month with getting the first OSD Sea Mob vessel to sea.  That USV is due to execute a major demonstration the end of October and until then the team will be busily checking out and tuning the autonomous system.  The team has also played a major role in integrating a new radar system to the perception suite.

SwampHammer, our EO/IR Stereo System, is now in its final stages of testing and we have been waiting for just the right weather (rain but no lightening) to finish up collecting data on how the system responds to bad weather.  Expect that this project will wrap up in October and then enhancements will be made to the SwampHammer from all the lessons learned.  The enhanced SwampHammer will then play a major role in Swarm II demonstrations.

We have a new addition to the Robotics Team.  Please welcome aboard Marty Chiaradia as our new engineering intern!  He comes onboard just as we are starting to ramp up on some major projects that he will play a big role in.

My name is Marty.
