Draper designed, developed, tested and delivered the guidance, navigation and control (GNC) software that will allow the Stratolaunch reusable hypersonic vehicle, Talon-A to operate autonomously.
Draper developed a new method for packaging and assembling optoelectronics in positioning, navigation and control devices, which could be used in systems intended for harsh environments that have large temperature swings and high amounts of shock and vibration. The method is available to Draper’s customers to improve their interferometric fiber-optic gyros (IFOGs) and other devices.
Draper is the original space company, with origins in the Apollo program, Space Shuttle, the International Space Station and now the Artemis program. Recently we joined a consortium, led by Rogue Space Systems, with other space start-ups and leading institutions to develop Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) proposals for the SpaceWERX DOD Orbital Prime initiative. The initiative was created by United States Space Force to encourage companies to submit proposals based on new technologies or innovations that will help boost the rapidly expanding space economy.
Establishing human-robot trust isn’t always easy! Aastha Acharya, a Draper Scholar and Ph.D. candidate at CU Boulder along with a team of engineers at CU Boulder and Draper demonstrated that an uncrewed aerial vehicle can self-assess its abilities—and build trust with humans.
Alex Hirst who is a Draper Scholar and Ph.D. student at the University of Colorado Boulder is the leading author of a study that is developing a type of onboard guidance algorithm for precision path-following control of fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft in challenging environments.

“This agreement highlights the potential of our PathScout technology to equip drivers with a system to alert them to nearby pedestrians when it detects location and movement data emitted by their mobile phones,” said Eric Balles, director of transportation and energy at Draper.
Draper once again teamed up with the Cambridge, MA Fire Department in collecting toys for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Thanks to our wonderful staff we were able to purchase hundreds of toys for kids in need this holiday season.
Draper is honored to be one of the nation’s leading technology developers for national security. Under a new contract with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Draper will be operating and maintaining TAK, a mobile computing solution which gives users a map-based common operating picture on a shared network and provides enhanced situational awareness for command and control.
