Autonomous Amphibious Rescue System

The US Marines are in the process of retiring 900+ Assault Amphibious Vehicles (AAVs) and replacing them with new Amphibious Combat Vehicles ACVs. There is the potential to convert “swords into ploughshares” in this transition, by upgrading and repurposing the retiring AAVs into a national civilian asset. Add Advanced Sensors & Communications to Enhance Safety and Search Capabilities. Add Remote Operations Capabilities. Add Autonomous Operations Capabilities. Launch & Recovery Platform: Equip with Remote/Autonomous: 1. Deployable airborne systems 2. Deployable ground systems 3. Deployable marine systems to support Search and Rescue Missions in Extreme Conditions.

Mobile Robot for Exploring Cold Liquid/Solid Environments

The Planetary Autonomous Amphibious Robotic Vehicle (PAARV), now at the prototype stage of development, was originally intended for use in acquiring and analyzing samples of solid, liquid, and gaseous materials in cold environments on the shores and surfaces, and at shallow depths below the surfaces, of lakes and oceans on remote planets. The PAARV also could be adapted for use on Earth in similar exploration of cold environments in and near Arctic and Antarctic oceans and glacial and sub-glacial lakes.
