Grant Opportunity: NASA and engineering

by in

A funding opportunity for those in computer science and engineering. From the solicitation's web page, "This initiative allows universities and university-led partnerships to provide strategic leadership that advances ARMD's research objectives and promotes education of the next generation of engineers. Proposers will identify technical challenges and research activities that will contribute to the six strategic thrusts provided in the ARMD Strategic Implementation Plan."

Of interest to some CI faculty is Topic 6: Assured Autonomy for Aviation Transformation, which appears to allude to the integration of UAS into the national airspace.
