Tow Tug Simulation Feasibility Study

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • In this study we conduct a feasibility study using simulation for AirTran Airways at their hub in Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL). This study pertains to using super-tug to transport aircraft to and from the airline's maintenance facility.
Transfer and Retention of Training in Real and Virtual Spaceflight Environments

  • PI Erik Seedhouse

  • This research compared how effectively suborbital tasks are learned in an actual NBE compared with a VR-rendered NBE. This study demonstrated the efficacy of NBE-type training as a means to improve the effectiveness of training suborbital SFPs. 

Turbulence and Structure in the Magnetospheric Cusps: Cluster spacecraft observations

  • PI Heidi Nykyri

  • Project analyzes the structure, origin of fluctuations and high-energy particles in the high-altitude cusp regions
TurtleTech: Sea Turtle Surveillance By Edge Computing on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

  • PI M. Ilhan Akbas

  • To better understand the behavior of multiple sea turtle species along Florida’s Space Coast, we teamed up with Northrop Grumman and the Brevard Zoo to launch a drone-based surveillance effort.

U

UAS Emergency Flight Recovery and Termination: Technology Survey and Regulatory Gap Analysis

  • PI Timothy Wilson

  • This paper presents a study of the current technologies, procedures, and regulations related to emergency recovery and flight termination systems for UAS.
UAS Flight Data Research in Support of ASIAS (Aviation Safety Information and Analysis Sharing)

  • PI David Esser

  • This research will aggregate high quality UAS flight data with commercial and general aviation flight data and surveillance data, in order to develop enhanced safety analyses for NAS stakeholders and to support UAS integration in the NAS.

UAS Maintenance, Modification, Repair, Inspection, Training, and Certification Considerations

  • PI John Robbins

    CO-I Mitchell Geraci

    CO-I Nickolas Macchiarella

  • This research project identifies research topics specific to UAS maintenance, Modification, Repair, Inspection, Training, and Certification considerations and was awarded as part of the ASSURE Center of Excellence program under guidance by the Federal Aviation Administration. 

UAS Parameters, Exceedances, Recording Rates for ASIAS

  • PI David Esser

  • The project was to support aggregation of UAS flight data with commercial, general aviation and surveillance data, to develop enhanced safety analyses for NAS stakeholders, support UAS integration in the NAS, and support the Unmanned Aircraft Safety Team (UAST).

UAS Surveillance Criticality for SAA

  • PI Mohammad Moallemi

  • By assessing the required technology and operational safety, this research project will ensure a vibrant and productive integration of UAS into our national airspace.

UAV Flight Control with Macrofiber Composite Actuators

  • PI Richard Prazenica

    CO-I Hever Moncayo

    CO-I Dae Won Kim

    CO-I May Chan

    CO-I Boutros Azizi

    CO-I Milton Marwa

  • Smart materials offer several potential advantages for UAV flight control applications compared to traditional servo actuators. One important benefit is that smart materials are lightweight and can be embedded directly into the structure of a wing or control surface.
Understanding Factors that Influence Anesthesia Handoffs

  • PI Elizabeth Lazzara

    CO-I Joseph Keebler

  • Communication is an essential aspect of quality patient care in modern medicine, yet mishaps in communication during handoffs (i.e., the transition of a patient between two or more providers) happen frequently. The purpose of this project was to understand the factors that influence handoffs between anesthesia providers and clinicians within the post anesthesia care unit. 
Understanding the Coupled Dynamics of Particles and Wall Turbulence

  • PI Ebenezer Gnanamanickam

  • ​This work focuses on understanding the coupled interactions between large and heavy solid particles, on a particle bed, and a gaseous (air) carrier phase turbulent boundary layer developing over the bed.
