SBIR-STTR Award

This proposal covers The TK Engineering plan for UAV Propulsion. The basis of the proposal is that the DOD 25 year UAV roadmap/plan details the growing need for UAV aircraft to meet DOD mission requirements. The DOD roadmap focuses on Aircraft development but very limited funded effort is being directed at Propulsion for UAV's. This proposed program would focus on developing a Common Gas Generator Core which could utilize several types of low pressure systems making a family of gas turbine based propulsion systems for various types of UAV's.

The UAV Propulsion Phase II program will focus on providing a preliminary design of a unique UAV propulsion system that can provide the UAV aircraft system with propulsive thrust and electrical power for sensors, observation electronics and Energy weapons form a single gas turbine based system. Included in the program is a test of a key engine component of the UAV engine.
