The Front-end Robotics Enabling Near-term Demonstration (FREND) is a DARPA project "aiming to create a fully autonomous docking capability for satellites that weren't built to be serviced", currently under testing at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Spacecraft Engineering Department.[1] The FREND mission concept uses robotic arms to position a grappling tool at a customer spacecraft structural hardpoint, and docks the two spacecraft together by first rigidizing this tool, then rigidizing the positioning robotics.[2] FREND has been described as a robotic manipulator technology "that someday could potentially deliver fuel, provide repairs, or reposition satellites."[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://gizmodo.com/5932150/to-test-a-satellite-dock-darpa-built-a-37+ton-air-hockey-table|title=To Test A Satellite Dock, DARPA Built a 37-Ton Air Hockey Table|publisher=Gizmodo.com|accessdate=2012-09-23}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nrl.navy.mil/content_images/08Space_Kelm.pdf |title=FREND:Pushing the Envelope of Space Robotics |publisher=Nrl.navy.mil |accessdate=2012-09-23}} 3. ^ Alfred W.
