Maintaining tight aerodynamic flight arrays through high-rate radio frequency distance measurements.
Ultra-Wideband signals operate across wide frequency bands (3.5 to 6.5 GHz) with sub-nanosecond pulse widths, allowing the receiver to cleanly separate direct line-of-sight signals from building and ground reflections.
By maintaining relative positions with 2-centimeter accuracy, follower aircraft fly precisely in the upwash vortices of leading aircraft, cutting overall swarm energy expenditure by up to 22%.
