Titan

Titan serves as the RF defense layer at locations where integrated systems are installed, providing a low false alarm rate and broad threat coverage.

Titan is the only automated RF sensor solution in the market that uses AI and Machine Learning to detect, identify, track, and safely defeat uncooperative drones.

Titan proved highly effective in complex urban environments and exhibited technical superiority in many unpredictable threat scenarios including drone swarms.

Citadel Defense received a multi-million-dollar government contract for Titan, an AI-powered, radiofrequency-based counter-drone system.

Doug Field, an Apple veteran who previously worked at Tesla, returned to oversee Project Titan in 2018.

Apple began its foray into automotive technology in 2014 under Project Titan by designing its own vehicle from scratch.

NASA delayed the launch of the Dragonfly mission to Titan from 2026 to 2027 due to budget challenges created by the coronavirus pandemic.

The prior shift of Dragonfly’s launch from 2025 to 2026 did not change the mission’s planned arrival at Titan in 2034 because of trajectory changes.

In 2001, a Titan 4 launched on 2020-08-06, a Delta 2 launched on 2020-08-08, and the NASA Space Shuttle launched on 2020-08-10 from Florida.

NASA selected the fourth New Frontiers mission, a spacecraft called Dragonfly that will fly from site to site on Saturn’s moon Titan, in June for launch in 2026.

The Mars 2020 rover mission and the Dragonfly mission to Titan are the only upcoming NASA missions formally approved for development that will use radioisotope thermoelectric generators.

Dragonfly is designed to fly approximately 175 kilometers across Titan over two and a half years.

Dragonfly is scheduled for launch in 2026, with an arrival at Titan in 2034.

Dragonfly will utilize flybys of Venus and Earth post-launch to reach Titan.

Dragonfly's autonomous flight capability can be tested on Earth before the actual flight on Titan.

The Dragonfly spacecraft will touch down in dune fields in Titan’s equatorial regions.

Titan’s atmosphere is four times denser at the surface compared to Earth, and its gravity is one-seventh that of Earth, making flight easier.

The launch date for Dragonfly has slipped from 2025 to 2026 to allow additional development time without affecting its arrival at Titan.
