An Exploration of the Acoustic Detection and Localization of Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems
With the increasing number of small Uncrewed Aerial Systems (sUAS) in the airspace, the need for robust Detect and Avoid (DAA) technologies is clear. This is especially true when considering the potential for non-cooperative aircraft with unknown intent. Many UAS use high resolution cameras to …

Dolphin Behavioral Responses to Uncrewed Aerial Systems as a Function of Exposure, Height, and Type
<p>Uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) are becoming a standard tool in the study of cetaceans, however, a comparative assessment of animal responses to UAS has not been established to gauge the most effective systems for cetacean study. We utilized Dolphin Quest Bermuda’s eleven bottlenose dolphins as …

3D Path Planning for Radiation Scanning of Cargo Containers
… and reduce the risk of danger to those nearby. Uncrewed Aerial Systems can be useful for scanning container stacks in container fields since they can be attached with sensors and reach heights that are difficult for humans. They can also scan autonomously, requiring less over watch from people. …
