The Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER, is NASA’s first mobile
robotic rover mission to the Moon. Moog components will be part of the main
computer and power management source for the Rover’s 2023 mission. About the
size of a golf cart, the VIPER will traverse the Moon’s South Pole. The Integrated
Avionics Unit (IAU) and Spacecraft Energization and Power Interfacing Assembly
(SEPIA) will be the main computer and power management source for VIPER –
essentially the “brains” of the Rover. The mission will determine the concentration
of water and ice that could eventually be harvested to sustain human exploration.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, initiated the Gremlins project in 2016. Production of the initial X-61 Gremlin air vehicle was awarded
to Dynetics, with Moog electromechanical actuation systems providing the precision motion control. Moog X-61 content includes the tail fin control, wing deploy,
and the fin control for the attitude-controlled bullet in the drone’s recovery system, developed in collaboration with Dynetics. Moog leveraged previously flightqualified elements to achieve program reliability and cost targets. For 70 years, Moog has provided precision steering controls for weapons programs and has
been a leader in the transition from hydraulic and pneumatic actuation to robust electromechanical actuation technologies.
The DARPA-led program is developing low-cost, reusable drone swarms that can be used for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. The concept
has swarms deploying from fixed-wing aircraft platforms out of adversary range. DARPA’s strategy includes the ability to reuse each unmanned air system (UAS)
up to 20 times. The capture system has each Gremlin UAS docking to a probe extended from an aircraft and then reeled into the aircraft. Post-retrieval, the
Gremlins are refueled and rearmed for next-mission capability within a 24-hour timeframe. Its modular design allows a Gremlin drone to quickly switch from
sensor carrier to weapons carrier. The X-61 is 14 feet long and can fly up to 450 mph.

Releasing multiple UA sytems with coordinated capabilities offers U.S. forces improved
operational flexibility. The program’s testing phase is complex and involves proving
technical feasibility for reeling in the Gremlin and loading it on to an in-flight C130 aircraft.
DARPA oversees approximately 250 U.S. research and development programs with
technology innovators like Moog to invest in and to deliver breakthrough transformational
technologies often related to national security.
