The gliders were developed and built by Teledyne Webb Research, so that wouldn't be the property of Rutgers. The team is using U.S. government-supplied satellite data for routing guidance and Google Earth maps for visualization. Perhaps some of the battery management software or data reduction methods? We'll ask them and see what they say. One point to remember is that the open nature of the academic world (as opposed to military research) is that it allows for much quicker development and deployment of new ideas and technology. Scientists and researchers all over the world build upon one another's work in a way that compounds the achievements and pace of achievement. I think it's one of the most remarkable areas of "borderless cooperation" anywhere in modern society. Thanks for your comment!
