OSU will look into drones’ cybersecurity vulnerabilities
WASHINGTON (KTVZ) – The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration introduced Friday $4.4 million in drone analysis, education and training grants to seven universities, together with Oregon State University. Research will deal with three areas: electromagnetic compatibility, detect and keep away from classifications, and cybersecurity oversight.
The universities receiving grants are University of North Dakota, University of Kansas, Drexel University, The Ohio State University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Mississippi State University and Oregon State University.
“This funding and our ongoing partnerships with these universities will allow the FAA to safely integrate the airspace that has a growing number of diverse aircraft users,” stated FAA Acting (*7*) Billy Nolen.
The analysis initiatives and grant awardees embrace:
Evaluate Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Electromagnetic Compatibility
This analysis will assess the dangers, determine drone design vulnerabilities, determine materials and procedural mitigations, and suggest steerage for safer electromagnetic compatibility with emitted and static fields.
• University of North Dakota $325,042
• University of Kansas $325,000
• Drexel University $325,830
