STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State University was selected again to lead a major uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) research, testing and evaluation project on behalf of the federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The award was a 5-year contract with a ceiling of $18.7M, including about $4M in funding awarded in FY 2022. MSU’s Raspet Flight Research Laboratory will spearhead the effort. Under the new contract, MSU will continue to scout, evaluate and test emerging UAS technologies; developing a cost-effective prototype UAS customized for DHS; and to conduct cybersecurity vulnerability assessments for UAS aircraft. “This project is a great example of how MSU can leverage internal strengths and external relationships to deliver full solutions in support of national security,” said MSU Vice President for Research and Economic Development Julie Jordan. MSU was selected in 2017 to lead Homeland’s Common UAS Test Site in conjunction with multiple state partners.
