North Carolina’s Duke University will lead a new $24-million US Army research hub focused on developing technologies to detect, disrupt, and seize control of unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
Funded through a six-year cooperative agreement from the Army Research Office, the hub will operate as the Inducing Cyber and Physical Effects in Unmanned Aerial Systems via Cyber-Electromagnetic Convergence (ICE-CEM) center.
The program brings together defense industry giant Lockheed Martin and researchers from leading academic institutions, including Georgia Tech, Penn State, Princeton, Texas A&M, the University of Michigan, and Washington University in St. Louis.
