STA's expertise in Unmanned Systems contributes to life-saving applications, including various unmanned air and ground vehicles. Unmanned Systems are now a critical component in military operations — be they fixed-wing air vehicles, ducted-fan air vehicles, or unmanned ground vehicles. These vehicles are proving to be invaluable reconnaissance and attack assets, and their use is increasing both in the field of battle and in protecting the border. STA's understanding of operator-controlled and autonomous unmanned vehicles is applied to remove the operator from the zone of danger, and to create increased endurance capabilities by removing the operator's physiological limitations.

​

We have experience supporting the development of Unmanned Systems designed to perform in a variety of environments and under unique conditions—specializing in designs ranging from backpackable, affordable, and easy to operate reconnaissance systems for the dismounted soldier to larger, more complex systems to be used by multiple soldiers.

In addition to applying Robotics technologies to Unmanned Systems, STA's technical staff excels in utilizing Robotics technologies in other applications such as Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA), countermine and explosive ordnance disposal, force protection, and physical security. Unlike some unmanned vehicles, which require operators to perform all of their functions, these Robots lighten the operator’s load and provide for increased capability to autonomously locate targets using multi-mode sensors.
