The US Army’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Project Management Office (PM UAS) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to promote the development of the next generation of UAS.
Under the agreement, PM UAS and UAH will work together to develop more courses in the study of unmanned aircraft. UAH’s Rotorcraft Systems Engineering and Simulation Center (RSESC) currently carries out UAS research. According to Colonel Baxter, Project Manager, PM UAS, “This effort will allow the Army to further promote independent research and development at the university level and develop student interest in the Army’s UAS program.”
