The SOCOM254-007 topic seeks applied research for an Acoustic-based UAS Rainbow Oscillation Refraction Architecture (AURORA). The objective is to develop an innovative capability for small uncrewed aerial systems (sUAS) within a swarm to achieve spatio-spectral decomposition of sound from their propellers. This will enable information transmission and reception encoded on sound waves and support relative position awareness in a multi-agent system. The system must use propeller-generated sound for intra-swarm communication, refract sound into coherent frequencies for data encoding, and transmit/receive omnidirectionally. Key attributes include independent sUAS position determination, heterogeneous sUAS data exchange, interference addressing, collision avoidance, adaptability to varying acoustic frequencies and environmental factors, and Doppler shift mitigation. It must not rely on additional oscillators or impede normal sUAS operation. Phase I will involve a feasibility study to assess achievable data rates and system design options, with Phase II developing a prototype. This technology has dual-use potential for military multi-agent drone systems operating without GPS or radio frequencies.
The SOCOM254-007 topic seeks applied research for an Acoustic-based UAS Rainbow Oscillation Refraction Architecture (AURORA) to enable communication and relative position awareness within small uncrewed aerial system (sUAS) swarms. The objective is to use sound waves primarily generated by sUAS propellers as a carrier for encoded information. Key system attributes include the ability to spatio-spectrally decompose incoherent propeller sounds, refract them into coherent frequencies for data modulation, and transmit/receive omnidirectionally. The system must also allow sUAS to independently determine relative positions, support heterogeneous sUAS communication, address interference, enable collision avoidance using self-organizing algorithms like the Boids model, and account for acoustic frequency variability and Doppler shift without impeding normal sUAS operation or requiring additional oscillators. Phase I involves a feasibility study to assess achievable data rates and viable system designs, while Phase II will focus on prototype development. This technology has dual-use potential for military applications involving multi-agent drone systems operating without GPS or radio frequencies.
