Atair Aerospace to exhibit at the 2006 SO/LIC Symposium and Exhibition
BROOKLYN, NY – March 09, 2006 – Atair Aerospace (Atair) will exhibit its Onyx™ precision guided parachute systems and other inventive defense technologies at the 2006 Special Operations Low Intensity Conflict (SO/LIC) Symposium and Exhibition in Alexandria, Va. March 13-15.
Onyx systems are autonomously guided parafoil systems designed to allow military cargo to be parachuted from high altitudes of up to 35,000 feet, autonomously glide for 30+ miles, and land on a preprogrammed target-accurate to about 150 feet. Atair's Onyx systems are equipped with advanced flocking, swarming and collision avoidance capabilities. With this technology, multiple Onyx systems (50+) with payloads ranging from small ground sensors or small munitions to 2,200 pounds of supplies can be deployed in the same airspace, guiding to one or multiple targets without the possibility of midair collisions. Atair is the first company in the world to successfully develop and demonstrate flocking and swarming capabilities. Atair developed the Onyx system under contract with the U.S. Army.
Headquartered in Brooklyn, N.Y., Atair Aerospace is a high-technology defense contractor dedicated to modernizing military, government and corporate logistics by creatively solving complex aerospace and engineering problems that integrate the state-of-the-art in parachute designs and guidance, navigation, and control systems.
