Exploring vulnerabilities, threats, and exploits in small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS)

  • PI John Craiger

  • Small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS), also known as drones, have been called flying computers given the overlap in their technologies. The purpose of this research is to conduct cybersecurity vulnerability assessments of several sUAS to identify vulnerabilities, threats, and associated exploits to the sUAS. Cyber vulnerabilities could theoretically allow a bad actor to take control of the sUAS, cause it to malfunction while in flight, and more.

Free-Flying Unmanned Robotic Spacecraft for Asteroid Resource Prospecting and Characterization Phase II

  • PI Hever Moncayo

    CO-I Richard Prazenica

  • ​In this project, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) and Honeybee Robotics (HBR) are developing an integrated autonomous free-flyer robotic spacecraft system to support the exploration and subsequent resource utilization of asteroids as well as other planetary bodies and moons. The proposed spacecraft will address the first step towards In Situ Resource Utilization from Near Earth Object bodies; namely it will prospect it with sample acquisition devices and characterize the NEO for ISRU potential. 
Fuel Mixing Diffusers

  • PI Ciprian Mancas

    CO-I Andrei Ludu

  • The problem of mixing fuel from a diffuser is inherent to the automotive field. The most turbulent flow over a diffuser allows the fuels to mix efficiently, which in turn, maximizes the efficiency of the diffuser. A high ratio of natural gas to diesel is desired to provide efficient ignition.
