The Bullet Actuator is surprisingly small and robust for its size. They are made of lightweight T6061 aluminium, have an IP66 rating, and are equipped with premium Japanese motors to ensure a long lifespan and minimal working noise.
They provide them as standard with two force options, a choice of 12v or 24v, and stroke lengths ranging from 1 to 8 inches. developed specifically for this actuator, pairs with MB14 brackets.
These actuators have a built-in force sensor, so if they collide with something or reach the end of their stroke, they will automatically cease moving until the load is removed or the direction is changed.
The Global bullet actuator market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Gremlins’ tail fins, wing deployments, and fins in the attitude-controlled “Bullet” Gremlins recovery element are all controlled by Moog actuators.
The main objective of DARPA’s Tactical Technology Office’s Gremlins Program is to demonstrate aerial launch and recovery of several inexpensive, reusable, unmanned aircraft.
The DARPA Gremlins programmed aims to create the capability to deploy drone swarms of networked and collaborating unmanned aircraft from standoff ranges for electronic assault and surveillance missions, and to recover as many of these drones as feasible using other C-130 utility aircraft.
The programmed uses a salvo of reasonably cheap UAVs to overwhelm an opponent’s defences.
The Gremlins strategy involves launching swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from aircraft beyond enemy air defences, with a range of observation and electronic warfare (EW) payloads.
After the missions are complete, the remaining UAVs are recovered. Moog’s electromechanical actuation systems offer precise motion control for a number of Gremlins demonstration system components, including fin control for the attitude-controlled “Bullet,” a crucial component of the recovery system, and Gremlin tail fin control.
To achieve the quick integration and flight test timeline required for DARPA programmes, these actuation systems collaborate with Dynetics.
