I/UCRC Phase I: Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems

I/UCRC for Unmanned Aircraft Systems（UAS）1161036 Brigham Young University; Tim麦克兰1161029 University of科罗拉多at Boulder; Eric Frew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（杨百翰大学）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，杨百翰大学作为牵头机构。无人机系统的发展对国家安全至关重要，CUAS的目标是成为发现和传播有关各种规模的无人机系统（从微型到大型）信息的协调中心。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系统的主导地位。由该中心领导的研究将为UAS带来新的概念，技术，见解和工具;并将促进这些想法向行业的转移。该中心将通过在该中心的大学进行尖端的工业相关研究，并通过培训UAS领域的下一代技术领导者，为UAS社区的发展做出贡献。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无人机系统研究人员。杨百翰大学和UCB将与行业和政府赞助商合作，为学生提供机会，从事与行业和政府实验室相关的高影响力、前沿研究。该中心还计划吸引妇女和代表性不足的少数群体作为该中心的学生。该中心计划通过课程设计，教科书，实验室练习和senor设计经验对UAS课程产生重大影响。

I/UCRC for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) 1161036 Brigham Young University; Tim McLain 1161029 University of Colorado at Boulder; Eric Frew 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. The development of UAS is critical to national security, and CUAS aims to be the focal point for discovery 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; and will facilitate the transfer of these ideas to industry. The proposed center will contribute to the advancement of the UAS community through cutting-edge, industrially relevant research at the center's universities and by training the next generation of technical leaders inn the UAS field. 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 relevant to industry and government labs. The Center also plans to attract women and under-represented minority groups as students in the Center. The center plans to have a significant impact on UAS curriculum through course design, textbooks, laboratory exercises, and senor design experiences.
