Georgia Institute of Technology Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Unmanned Aircraft Systems

乔治亚理工学院（Georgia Tech）提议加入由美国国家科学基金会（nsf）赞助的无人机系统工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）：无人机系统中心：C-UAS （c-uas.byu.edu）由杨百翰大学（BYU）和科罗拉多大学（CU）于2012年建立，现在还包括弗吉尼亚理工大学（VT）。该中心为无人机系统行业的未来领导者提供关键技术挑战的创新解决方案和精湛的培训。佐治亚理工学院将带来空域管理、系统工程、认知工程和容错制导/导航/控制系统方面的专业知识。这项具体工作包括与工业咨询委员会的现任和潜在成员以及佐治亚理工学院的代表举行规划会议；允许在无人机领域的工业、政府和学术界之间建立有效的C-UAS新伙伴关系。佐治亚理工学院为该中心带来了多个领域的专业知识：(1)安全无人机系统集成的空域管理和控制，操作概念（CONOPS），包括设计空域组织和程序的先前研究。(2)系统工程与系统集成，包括：系统的设计与分析、安全保障、航电集成。(3)无人机的操作界面、人为因素和自动化设计，包括使用许多不同级别的自动化和操作界面概念进行研究试飞的丰富经验。(4)检测和避免系统，包括合作和非合作方法。(5)避障和路径规划系统，包括广泛的传感器模式和制导/控制概念的分析和测试。(6)容错估计和控制，包括在gps拒绝操作以及自适应和可重构制导和控制方法方面的广泛工作。为了促进将佐治亚理工学院纳入该中心，工业咨询委员会（IAB）的现任和潜在成员以及佐治亚理工学院、佛蒙特大学、杨百翰大学和科罗拉多大学的代表将于2017年2月举行规划会议。计划会议将聚集顶级研究人员和领先的行业和政府参与者，为UAS领域的行业，政府和学术界之间的有效伙伴关系奠定基础。

The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) proposes to join the up-and-running NSF-sponsored Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) in unmanned aircraft systems: The Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems: C-UAS (c-uas.byu.edu) was established by Brigham Young University (BYU) and the University of Colorado (CU) in 2012, and now also includes Virginia Tech (VT). This center provides innovative solutions to key technical challenges and superb training for future leaders in the unmanned aircraft system industry. Georgia Tech will bring specific expertise in airspace management, system engineering, cognitive engineering, and fault tolerant guidance/navigation/control systems. This specific effort includes a planning meeting with current and prospective members of the industrial advisory board and representatives of Georgia Tech; allowing the establishment of effective new partnerships for C-UAS between industry, government, and academia in the field of UAS. Georgia Tech brings expertise in a number of areas to the center:(1) Airspace management and control for safe UAS integration, concepts of operation (CONOPS), including prior research in designing airspace organization and procedures. (2) System engineering and system integration, including: system-of-systems design and analysis, safety assurance, and avionics integration.(3) Operator interface, human factors, and automation design for UAS, including extensive experience performing research test flights with many different levels of automation and operator interface concepts.(4) Detect and avoid systems, including both cooperative and non-cooperative methods.(5) Obstacle avoidance and path planning systems, including analysis and testing with a wide-array of sensor modalities and guidance/control concepts.(6) Fault tolerant estimation and control, including extensive work in GPS-denied operations as well as adaptive and reconfigurable guidance and control methods.To facilitate the inclusion of Georgia Tech to this center, a planning meeting with current and prospective members of the industrial advisory board (IAB) and representatives of Georgia Tech, VT, BYU and CU will be held in February 2017. The planning meeting will gather top researchers and leading industry and government players to establish the foundation for an effective partnership between industry, government, and academia in the field of UAS.
