Self-powered Wireless Sensors and Interfaces for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (open access)

Self-powered Wireless Sensors and Interfaces for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Data management plan for the grant, "Self-powered Wireless Sensors and Interfaces for UAVs." Self-powered wireless sensors acting as nanogenerators can not only harvest ambient environment energy during the flight but also are capable of wirelessly monitoring pressure, temperature and other parameters to make the UAV truly an intelligent transportation system (ITS). This proposal requests the acquisition of a Mask Aligner to pattern such self-powered sensors with nano-antenna structures for wireless communication. The addition of the proposed system will enable researchers to study novel 2D materials as self-powered sensors and actuators. The proposed infrastructure would allow the development of smart, autonomous mobility systems with breakthroughs in intelligent technologies, research and workforce preparation.

RINGS: Mobility-driven Spectrum-Agile Resilient mmWave Communication Links for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Traffic Management in the Sky (open access)

RINGS: Mobility-driven Spectrum-Agile Resilient mmWave Communication Links for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Traffic Management in the Sky

Data management plan for the grant "RINGS: Mobility-driven Spectrum-Agile Resilient mmWave Communication Links for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Traffic Management in the Sky." As the unmanned aviation industry moves towards Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) services, air taxis and air ambulances are expected to become a reality in near future. Handling such a high volume of unmanned air traffic requires innovative solutions for enhanced situational awareness in the airspace. The US Federal Aviation Federal Aviation Administration envisions air tracks specifically reserved for AAM vehicles at altitudes ranging from 500 ft to 2000 ft. Air tracks cross one another at intersections and vehicles may need to share the airspace with other manned and unmanned aerial vehicles. This requires coordination among the vehicles especially during close encounters. Such a coordination requires highly reliable communication links which serve as a substitute for traffic signals on the roads. This proposal addresses this key knowledge gap by investigating strategies for establishing reliable and robust Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication links to support AAM services. This project investigates spectrum-agile millimeter wave-based tunable beamforming strategies needed for establishing reliable and robust V2V communications links to support autonomous flight operations in air corridors along with the supporting radio frequency and mixed signal …
