This spring Nanyang Technological University’s Air Traffic Management Research Institute (ATMRI) and Mississippi State University led Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE), co-organized the International Virtual Conference on Air Mobility with Unmanned Systems and Engineering (AMUSE). If you were unable to attend, please visit the AMUSE 2021 Event Archive page where you will find

The FAA formed the Center of Excellence for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to identify and address a myriad of issues surrounding the introduction of drones into the National Air Space System. At the same time, however, it also was mandated to introduce drones into the lives of young people. The program known as the Alliance

In September 2020 the FAA published a solicitation for airport operators interested in hosting the agency’s “Airport UAS Detection and Mitigation Research Program.” Under the program, FAA plans to evaluate at least ten unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) detection and/or mitigation systems. The purpose of the solicitation was to select four eligible airport operators to host

Unmanned aircraft systems are a global phenomenon, and the experts at Kansas State University Polytechnic Campus are helping to ensure regulation updates are shared across the globe. A free webinar offered by K-State Polytechnic discussing recent changes implemented to UAS regulations by the Federal Aviation Administration was attended globally. The webinar shared information on UAS operations that

The Federal Aviation Administration has announced several changes related to unmanned aircraft systems operations that will go into effect in the coming months. These regulation changes are important for every new and experienced UAS pilot to understand. Kansas State University Polytechnic Campus is offering a free webinar and live question and answer session to discuss these important updates

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced $5.8 million in research, education and training grants to universities that comprise FAA’s Air Transportation Center of Excellence for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), also known as the Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE). “These universities are making great strides in advancing the Department’s efforts to

A wide variety of services exist for macro weather prediction, but when it comes to how wind and storms impact unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones — namely those meant for drone package delivery and air taxis — more localized forecasts are needed. That’s where researchers at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University come in, as they contribute

The unmanned aircraft systems flight and operations program at Kansas State University Polytechnic Campus has been selected for the Federal Aviation Administration’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems-Collegiate Training Initiative, also known as UAS-CTI. “We value our FAA relationships,” said Kurt Carraway, UAS department head at Kansas State Polytechnic Campus. “As soon as we became aware of the FAA’s initiative to establish
