  • Iranian Proxy Groups in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen A Comparative Analysis

    CO-I Hugh Sadri

     After the fall of Saddam Hussein, Tehran’s leaders took advantage of Baghdad’s weak position and put many Iraqi power centers and local groups under their influence using a variety of soft to hard power instruments.

Our objective is to analyze the role of Iranian influence in its proxy organizations across the Middle East.

  • Integrating Expanded and Non-Segregated UAS Operations into the NAS: Impact on Traffic Trends and Safety

    CO-I Dothang Truong

    CO-I Ryan Wallace

    This research led by Richard Stansbury (PI) will provide further insight into the safe integration of sUAS through the forecasting of expanded and non-segregated sUAS operations. The ASSURE research team will collect data to inform the FAA on risk-based methodologies to develop and apply safety rules, regulations, and revised Safety Management System (SMS) protocols based on forecasted UAS operational needs and performance characteristics.
