Designed on MPS Microsystems’ modular optomechanics platform, the High-Speed Coaxial Lens Actuator delivers custom-engineered, micron-level alignment in a footprint of just 170 × 87 × 45 mm. Two brushless motors drive lens holders (Ø 12.7 mm) that move in the same precision-machined bore, guaranteeing perfect coaxiality throughout the 3.75 mm stroke and no shimming or iterative alignment required. The closed-loop cam mechanism runs friction-free, ensuring a maintenance-free stage that can be used in laser machining heads, spectrometers or 3-D scanners and keeps working for millions of cycles. Most importantly, stroke, motor, encoder and mounting interfaces of this high-speed coaxial lens actuator can all be customized to fit your needs with regards to optical and space constraints.

The future of airpower pairs large numbers of autonomous uncrewed aircraft with the most advanced crewed fighters of today and tomorrow. These AI-enabled uncrewed aircraft systems are designed for low-cost mass production but will pose a significant threat, forcing adversaries to commit valuable resources to combat them – creating gaps in enemy defenses for high-end multi-mission crewed fighters to exploit. Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) will provide magazine depth and advanced battlespace surveillance, using low-observable features to evade detection while securely relaying findings to the front line. They can act on their own or in concert with the rest of the force.

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. is advancing this new era of air superiority with a bold new semi-autonomous platform system that is reshaping the way the U.S. and allied forces secure the battlespace: Gambit Series.

Unlike other proposed collaborative platforms, Gambit offers multiple aircraft models, each configured for demanding missions. The series includes variants for intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance (ISR), air-to-ground engagements, fighter training, stealthy combat reconnaissance, and carrier-based operations. Most importantly, they all have something in common.

The engine offers a take-off power of up to 180 kW (235 hp). Excellent power-to-weight ratio. Small installation dimensions. Two outpu shaft speed configurations. Stable operation at high and low temperatures.

THE FUTURE OF FIGHTER JETS

With a 99% win-rate in simulated F-16 dogfights versus active-duty Air Force and Navy fighter pilots, Hivemind is learning to execute a variety of missions from Beyond Visual Range strike to suppression of enemy air defense. The future of air dominance will be powered and flown by Hivemind.

It Starts With The F-16

Hivemind will deploy as a digital co-pilot on a U.S. Air Force F-16, with the goal of rapidly scaling across next-generation aircraft, F-22s, F-18s, and other fighter jets. Hivemind will make legacy fighters relevant for decades to come and will power the next generation of military aircraft.

Designed with durability in mind, the SG20BL is equipped with a robust M8 circular connector, hardened steel gears and an impressive IP-68 rating, ensuring it can withstand harsh environmental conditions while maintaining optimal performance. With a Mean To Time Failure (MTTF) of greater than 1,000 hours, users can trust our servo to deliver consistent functionality throughout its operational lifespan. Available in both a 12V and 24V model with wide operating voltages of 9-15V and 18-32V, respectively, the SG20BL also features an ultra-efficient brushless motor delivering exceptional power-to-weight ratio and a contactless magnetic encoder offering enhanced responsiveness. The implementation of CAN 2.0A,B / DroneCAN command protocols further streamlines communication and integration with advanced unmanned systems. #UAV #UAS #UGV #UUV #USV
