DoD’s push to develop new weapon systems has spawned the need for low cost technologies for Readiness Assessment Vehicles (RAV’s) that meet future testing requirements. To address this need Valley Tech Systems (VTS) is proposing the development of an innovative smart thruster that includes a new Distributed Electronic Thruster Architecture (DETA) technology that enables attractive cost and propulsion flexibility and propulsion system modularity. During this Phase II program we will develop the DETA electronic design and conduct integrated smart thruster demonstration testing maturing the new DETA smart thruster technology.
