Collaborative Research: Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Unmanned Aircraft Systems

杨百翰大学无人机系统I/UCRC规划拨款[00968950]；蒂姆·麦克莱恩0968991科罗拉多大学博尔德分校；无人机系统中心（CUAS）将研究和开发无人机系统的新算法、架构和操作程序。杨百翰大学（BYU）和科罗拉多大学博尔德分校（UCB）正在合作建立拟议中的中心，杨百翰大学是牵头机构。由于UAS的发展对国家安全至关重要，因此其目标是成为存储和传播从微型到大型各种规模的UAS信息的焦点。拟议中的中心已经确定了一些需要克服的挑战，以便在美国建立无人机的主导地位。该中心领导的研究将为无人机系统带来新的概念、技术、见解和工具。杨百翰大学和UCB计划利用NSF计划拨款基金与潜在的工业合作伙伴举行会议，以建立拟议的中心。组织框架，并建立最相关的研究项目。该中心更广泛的影响包括课程设计、社区推广和培训下一代UAS研究人员。杨百翰大学和UCB将与行业和政府赞助商合作，为学生提供从事高影响力前沿研究的机会。该中心还计划吸引女性和代表性不足的少数群体作为该中心的学生。

Planning Grant for an I/UCRC for Unmanned Aircraft Systems0968950 Brigham Young University; Tim McLain 0968991 University of Colorado at Boulder; Brian Argrow The Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (CUAS) will investigate and develop new algorithms, architectures, and operational procedures for unmanned aircraft systems. Brigham Young University (BYU) and the University of Colorado at Boulder (UCB) are collaborating to establish the proposed center, with BYU as the lead institution. Since the development of UAS is critical to national security CUAS aims to be the focal point for storing and disseminating information about UAS of all sizes, from micro to large. The proposed Center has identified some of the challenges to overcome in order to establish UAS dominance in the US. The research led by the Center will lead to new concepts, technologies, insights, and tools for UAS. BYU and UCB plan to use the NSF planning grant fund to hold a meeting with prospective industrial partners to establish the proposed Center?s organizational framework, and to establish research projects of greatest relevance. The broader impacts of the Center include curriculum design, community outreach and training the next generation of UAS researchers. BYU and UCB will work with industry and government sponsors to provide opportunities to students to work on high-impact, cutting-edge research. The Center also plans to attract women and under-represented minority groups as students in the Center.
