Experimental Identification of Plasma Wave Modes in Vicinity of KH Vortices and in Plasma ’Mixing’ Regions in Low Latitude Boundary Layer (Ion scales)
  • PI Heidi Nykyri

  • Project uses Cluster spacecraft data to identify ion-scale waves within Kelvin-Helmholtz waves.
Experimental Testbed for the Validation of Autonomous ISAM/OSAM Systems
  • PI Morad Nazari

    CO-I Kadriye Merve Dogan

    CO-I Thomas Lovell

  • The ability to validate individual hardware and software components of these technologies on a large scale is still in its early stages. Thus, the goal of this research is to establish an effective experimental testbed for the validation of autonomous in-space servicing and maintenance (ISAM) / on-orbit servicing and maintenance (OSAM) systems.
Exploration: Aerospace Student-Teacher Program for Innovation, Research, and Education (ASPIRE)
  • PI Samantha Bowyer

    CO-I Ronnie Mack

  • Aerospace Student-Teacher Program for Innovation, Research, and Education (ASPIRE) aims to provide high school students and educators with the opportunity to immerse themselves in experiential learning in the scientific environments and receive mentorship from trained scientists.

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.

FAA ASSURE Center of Excellence for Unmanned Aircraft Systems
  • PI Richard Stansbury

  • ERAU has completed or is conducting research tasks addressing the impact of maintenance induced failures on UAS safety; the function allocation of systems operations between automated systems, remote pilots, and support crew, surveillance criticality for detect, and avoid systems; impact of UAM air traffic on air traffic controllers; data analysis to determine the impact of UAS on the NAS, UAS flight data recorder requirements, etc.

Fabrication of Copper Lithium-ion Battery Case with Integrated Cooling Channels Using Binder Jetting Additive Manufacturing
  • PI Yue Zhou

    CO-I Wenhao Zhang

    CO-I Heer Patel

    CO-I Henil Patel

    CO-I Sirish Namilae

  • This project leveraged binder jetting processes to directly fabricate metallic battery cases integrated with various cooling channels, paving the way for the additive fabrication of metallic thermal management devices applied in the aerospace field.

Federal Aviation Administration - Aviation Ecosystem Cyber Security Data Science (CSDS)
  • PI M. Ilhan Akbas

    CO-I Laxima Niure Kandel

  • ​​To address these needs, the FAA NextGen Organization has established the CSDS research program with emphasis on discovery, assessment, adaptation, demonstration and transfer of cyber technology to enhance information cybersecurity for elements of the aviation ecosystem.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): A11L.UAS.97: Propose Right-of-Way Rules for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Operations and Safety Recommendations
  • PI M. Ilhan Akbas

  • The overall purpose of this project is to inform rulemaking and standards development regarding potential Right of Way (RoW) concepts for manned and unmanned aircraft in the low altitude environment. 

Fellowship in Advanced Simulation & Training
  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • Conducted research into manpower planning for maintenance hangar at a US airline.
Fellowship in Advanced Simulation & Training - Runway Layout
  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • Conducted research into runway layout configurations at Philadelphia airport to reduce congestion on ground and airspace.
Flexible Body Control Using Fiber Optic Sensors (FlexFOS)
  • ​The objective of this research is to provide a precise measurement and robust control framework using fiber optic strain sensors for the total motion of rigid body and flexible body components.  
Flexible Body Control Using Fiber Optic Sensors, Florida Space Grant Consortium
  • PI Morad Nazari

    CO-I Daewon Kim

  • ​This project would build on previous research that developed the dynamics formulation and control of a rigid-flexible system.
