Pilot Response to Cybersecurity Events
  • ​The first research uses the pilot cybersecurity event and risk assessment station located in the Cybersecurity Engineering Lab (LB 131).
Pilot’s Willingness to Operate in Unmanned Aircraft System Integrated Airspace

  • PI Lakshmi Vempati

    PI Scott Winter

  • The interest in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) use for private, civil, and commercial purposes such as package delivery, inspection, surveillance, and passenger and cargo transport has gained considerable momentum. As UAS infiltrate the National Airspace System (NAS), there is a need to not only develop viable, safe, and secure solutions for the co-existence of manned and unmanned aircraft, but also determine public acceptance and pilot’s willingness to operate an aircraft in such an integrated environment. Currently there is little or no research on pilot’s perceptions on their willingness to operate an aircraft in UAS integrated airspace and airports.

Pilot-in-the-Loop UAS Mobile Research Test-Bed

  • PI Hever Moncayo

    CO-I May Chan

    CO-I Ashwini Agrawal

    CO-I Agustin Giovagnoli

  • This project aims to develop and implement a Mobile UAV Ground Control Station (GCS) supporting aviation safety research with pilot-in-the-loop capabilities using unmanned aerial systems platforms, in which flight conditions, such as systems failures, could be simulated in real-time to characterize pilot response, control laws performance, and human-machine and control laws interactions.
Platform for Investigating Concept Networks on the Instrumentality of Knowledge (PICNIK)

  • PI Matthew Verleger

  • This engineering education research project seeks to develop a concept network for engineering and a platform for helping students identify how concepts are connected across a curriculum.  The goal is to better understand and improve how students value the concepts being taught throughout their education.

PLD Space Suborbital Microgravity Research

  • PI Pedro LLanos

  • This project involves the design, development, integration, testing, validation, and verification of various payloads to be flown aboard PLD Space’s MIURA-1 suborbital rocket. 
    1. Magnetic Active Propellant Management Device (MAPMD) experiment (student involvement) 
    2. In-vitro experiment comprised of both T-cells and Cancer cells 
    3. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt experiment (student involvement) 
    4. Environment characterization of the suborbital vehicle experiment (student involvement)
PolyVerif: Open-Source Environment for Autonomous Vehicle Validation and Verification

  • PI M. Ilhan Akbas

  • ​Validation and Verification (V&V) of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based cyber physical systems such as Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) is currently a vexing and unsolved problem.
Predicting General Aviation Accidents Using Machine Learning Algorithms

  • PI Bradley Baugh

    CO-I Bruce Conway

  • Aviation safety management is implemented through reactive, proactive, and predictive methodologies. Unlike reactive and proactive safety, predictive safety can predict the next accident and enable prevention before an actual occurrence. The study outlined here promotes predictive safety management through machine learning technologies using large amounts of data to facilitate predictive modeling.

Predicting Pilot Misperception of Runway Excursion Risk Through Machine Learning Algorithms of Recorded Flight Data

  • PI Edwin Odisho

    CO-I Dothang Truong

  • The research used predictive models to determine pilot misperception of runway excursion risk associated with unstable approaches. The Federal Aviation Administration defined runway excursion as a veer-off or overrun of the runway surface. The Federal Aviation Administration also defined a stable approach as an aircraft meeting the following criteria: (a) on target approach airspeed, (b) correct attitude, (c) landing configuration, (d) nominal descent angle/rate, and (e) on a straight flight path to the runway touchdown zone. Continuing an unstable approach to landing was defined as Unstable Approach Risk Misperception in this research. A review of the literature revealed that an unstable approach followed by the failure to execute a rejected landing was a common contributing factor in runway excursions.

Predictive Analytics for Unmanned Aerial Systems Deployment
  • ​This research covers unmanned systems deployment in uncertain adversarial environments. Resilient logistics operations call for a holistic and crosscutting approach to proactively address both real-time and persistent adversarial events in several operational areas to outfit mobility platforms, networks, and C2 digital twin to support continued uninterrupted operations.
Privacy-Preserving Authentication Scheme

  • PI Shafika Showkat Moni

  • This research project focuses on designing efficient privacy-preserving authentication schemes to reduce the communication and computation overhead related to authenticating entities in VANET.
Project Courier

  • CO-I Greg Diehl

    CO-I John Robbins

  • Project Courier is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) delivery service that would operate across the ERAU campus aimed at allowing for quick delivery of documents, packages, and potentially food. 
Project Global Officer

  • PI Aaron Clevenger

  • Project GO provide's overseas language instruction consisting of a minimum of 8 weeks and/or 150 contact hours (per grant program) to ROTC students nationwide with the goal of helping student to reach an ILR 1 proficiency level in a critical language: Mandarin Chinese in Taiwan, and Arabic in Jordan. All students should reach the objective of successfully applying the target language and cultural knowledge in actual communication with native speakers.
