MSU joins ASSURE drone research

Mississippi State University has been selected, along with six other universities, for funding grants as part of the System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE) program. The grants focus on the areas of electromagnetic compatibility, UAS (unmanned aircraft system or drones) detect and avoid classifications, and cybersecurity oversight – have been awarded to seven US universities. A total of 15 grants, valued at $18.3M, have been awarded to date as part of the ASSURE program for the FY 2022. The other universities include the University of North Dakota, University of Kansas, Drexel University, Ohio State University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Oregon State University. The research on drone electromagnetic compatibility will assess the risks and identify drone design vulnerabilities as well as the material and procedural mitigations. It would also propose guidance for safer electromagnetic compatibility with emitted and static fields.
