The Problem
The Problem
CANA has recognized a capability gap through collaboration with the Department of the Navy Operational Energy: the ability to cost-effectively defend moving and stationary high-value units against drone and missile threats.
A potential mitigation strategy involves coordinating defensive swarms of lower-cost, attritable drones. CANA’s capabilities would enable the Navy to more effectively plan and direct such efforts.
The Solution
The Solution
Entourage is a UxS drone solution tool leveraging a genetic algorithm to create defensive barriers of diverse unmanned systems (UxS) for protecting moving and stationary high-value units (HVUs) such as warships, land-based forces, and critical infrastructure.
It efficiently optimizes UxS positioning and coordination to counter modern threats such as drone and missile attacks.
CANA Entourage™ Unique Identifiers
CANA Entourage™ Unique Identifiers
Entourage is fast.
When UxS capabilities and quantities are known, Entourage generates recommended employment options in seconds instead of minutes. When many capabilities and quantities are uncertain, Entourage generates recommended portfolio options in hours instead of days.
Entourage accounts for environmental conditions.
Examples include: wind speed, ocean currents, sea state, etc.
Entourage is energy agnostic, supporting many energy sources.
Includes: fuel, electric, or hybrid energy use and transfer capabilities between unmanned systems, including energy transfer at range, etc.
Entourage accounts for communications capabilities via a mesh network.
Generates feasible communications laydowns allowing systems of swarms to coordinate.
The Value
The Value
Entourage’s algorithms enhance the effectiveness of multi-domain defensive UxS groups by ensuring feasible communications, flexible energy management, and efficient threat detection and engagement.
