Sparton to Highlight Technologies at DARPA
August 14, 2015 | Sparton Corp.Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Sparton Corporation technology will be on display at the upcoming Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) "Wait, What Conference" being held in St. Louis from September 9-11, 2015.
DARPA's :Wait, What Conference" is a forum on future technologies, on their potential to radically change how we live and work, and on the opportunities and challenges these technologies will raise within the broadly defined domain of national security. The conference will be attended by forward-thinking scientists, engineers and other innovators.
A DARPA demo dedicated to enhancing maritime agility and the upward falling payload (UFP) program will contain Sparton technology. The UFP program concept centers on a system that will reside on the sea floor and release payloads on-demand to provide a game changing capability to mission commanders.
"Sparton is proud to support the DARPA mission of creating breakthrough technologies that facilitate advances in maritime security," said Jim Lackemacher, Group Vice President, Engineered Components and Products.

DARPA Moves Forward on X-65 Technology Demonstrator
01/04/2024 | DARPADARPA has selected Aurora Flight Sciences to build a full-scale X-plane to demonstrate the viability of using active flow control (AFC) actuators for primary flight control. The X-65 breaks this century-old design paradigm for flight control by using jets of air from a pressurized source to shape the flow of air over the aircraft surface, with AFC effectors on several surfaces to control the plane’s roll, pitch, and yaw. Eliminating external moving parts is expected to reduce weight and complexity and to improve performance.
