Genesys™ Inherently Survivable Systems

Genesys is a suite of technology and design approaches focused on increased vehicle survivability. From healable resins to morphing capabilities, Genesys encompasses a broad range of integrated materials and systems. Vehicles incorporating Genesys technologies will perform almost instinctively, expanding operation performance by compensating for damage on-the-fly.

Because these capabilities are designed into the system, survivability depends more on healing, adaptability, and continuous monitoring than on heavy-duty reinforcement structures that add weight to the overall design.

Some Advantages
   • Adaptibility
   • Survivability
   • Increased range
   • Increased speed
   • Increased payload
   • Better endurance
   • Affordability
   • Less time in repairs
   • More time in the field or air

Some Genesys Design Features
   • Integrated, Reflexive, Structural
      Health Monitoring (SHM): continual
      scans of the structure for damage
   • Healable Structures: healable composites capable of in situ damage repair
   • Embedded Systems: bio-inspired "nervous" and "circulatory" systems
      inherent within the structure, enabling regeneration and signature control
   • Active Camouflage: surface luminescence and color patterning
   • Bio-Mimicking: shape change and visual signature manipulation
   • Signature Control: radar, IR, acoustic, visual
   • Active Property Change: vehicle preparation for imminent impact
   • Passive-Adaptive Structures: passive shape-change response to changing
      aerodynamic conditions
