Allegient Defense has played a vital role in the development of unmanned systems and their integration into the national airspace. We provide quality, mission-critical support to unmanned aircraft program offices—an essential contribution to one of the fastest-growing areas in the industry. Our engineers and SMEs are skilled in R&D, payload development/integration, and policy and exceptionally knowledgeable in the operational requirements of UAS, from the hand-held to long-range tactical systems. We have the expertise to assist in the Test and Evaluation phases of UAS project development and the operational know-how to bridge the gaps between design concept, production, and utilization. This technical knowledge and our hands-on experience work to maximize the performance of any UAS project office.
Our UAS SMEs have developed best practices in the following capabilities:
- UAS Concept of Operations Development
- UAS Programmatic Advising Support
- Payload Development/Integration
- Sensor/C4I Integration

Allegient Defense is providing support for the Army Research and Development Center (ARDEC) in their Autonomous Unmanned Systerm Teamings and Collaboration (AUSTC) in GPS Denied (GD) Environments. The AUSTC program employs a “think-tank” and modified “skunk-works” approach in indentifying and determining game-changing developments to ensure a tactical advantage. The usage of tunnels and underground facilities (UGF) by military and irregular forces is growing more sophisticated, increasing the likelihood of U.S. Forces ecountering such GD structures on future battlefields. Allegiant Defense leads the way by providing:
- The capability to autonomously navigate and simultaneously map deep underground facilities and tunnels
- A complete open system architecture enabling independent integration with new sensors, algorithms, and software without OEM involvement
- An artificial intelligence teaming software that enables the collaboration of multiple manned and unmanned systems to navigate and map complex tunnel systems and identify tactical targets (weapons of mass destruction, etc.)
- An onboard obstacle avoidance system that autonomously selects the optimal navigational path to the objective
- A manned portable navigation and mapping system that communicates wirelessly through a self-healing IP network and collaborates with unmanned systems to provide complete situational awareness in a GD environment
- A revolutionary Through The Earth (TTE) communications system that can transmit and receive voice, data and 3D localization through 300 meters of solid rock
- Cutting edge battery technology that provides 250% longer life than Li-Po by 2019 and 400% by 2021
