ASSURE or the Alliance of System Safety for UAS through Research Excellence is a multi-university center designated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as its Center of Excellence for Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University is a founding member of a multi-university coalition comprised of 21 research universities, the ASSURE Coalition (Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence). ASSURE was designated as the FAA’s Center of Excellence for Unmanned Aircraft Systems in May 2015.
As an FAA Center of Excellence, ASSURE provides the FAA with the research it needs to quickly, safely and efficiently integrate unmanned aircraft systems into the National Airspace System with minimal changes to the current system. Embry‑Riddle serves as the technical lead in UAS airspace integration research areas (including air traffic management interoperability, UAS traffic management and UAS airport ground operations), co-lead in UAS pilot and crew training and co-lead in command and communication research. Embry-Riddle also supports research in areas such as detect-and-avoid, human factors, low-altitude operations, wake separation and noise reduction.
