Research

Fusion Propulsion

We have been working with researchers from the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab on a Magnetic Fusion Engine that employs a magnetically confined deuterium-tritium plasma. Thrust is generated by alpha particles that escape via ripples in the magnetic field.


Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

PSS is working on online system identification and control synthesis for underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles.


Deep Space Navigation

PSS is developing a new autonomous deep space navigation system and sensor.


Formation Flying

PSS is developing spacecraft formation flying algorithms for a wide variety of applications.


Missile Defense

PSS is working on an SBIR entitled, "Simulation tool to intercept multiple missiles employing random, evasive maneuvers"


Defensive Counterspace

PSS is working on an SBIR entitled, "Model Based Decision Support System for Defensive Counterspace" for the Air Force.


Wind Turbines

PSS is developing a vertical axis wind turbine and advanced control algorithms for wind turbines.


Education

PSS has developed educational talks for elementary school students. It also is developing a new textbook for children to learn algebra trigonometry and calculus.
