EADS taps wealth of Welsh wizardry to improve UAV persistence

摘要

Within its wider research portfolio, EADS Cassidian is engaged in three programmes devoted to improved power provision for unmanned platforms. These are just some of those being funded by EADS Foundation Wales (EFW) - see box. The first, known as Dazzle, is focused on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data transfer using optical modulating retro-reflector (MRR) technology. It is a joint project between the University of Glamorgan and the Newport facility of EADS Innovation Works (IW), the corporate research centre for the global EADS group.
