NSWC PCD, Sagetech to Equip Drones With Identification Capabilities

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division has signed a cooperative research and development agreement with Sagetech Avionics to integrate Identification Friend or Foe capabilities in future unmanned aircraft systems. According to Gavin Taylor, NSWC PCD Expeditionary Systems Division engineer, the collaboration aims to present a value-added solution to the warfighter using any of the UAS that NSWC PCD will develop. NSWC PCD is creating a low-cost expendable UAS with a novel deployment method, Naval Sea Systems Command said Monday.
