The Advanced Dynamics and Control group focuses on the development and implementation of guidance, navigation and control of aerospace systems and research on a broad range of topics focused on flight dynamics. The group supports activities aimed at advancing aviation and space technologies through the development of concepts, implementation and demonstration of solutions with research efforts that span several areas, including but not limited to: investigation of technologies to integrate UASs into the National Air Space; design of intelligent systems to increase aviation flight safety; application of robotic technologies for future space missions; fundamental and applied research in manned and unmanned aerospace systems including avionics and payload systems design, aircraft modeling and parameter identification, multiple sensor fusion, formation flight control, human-machine interface, and remote sensing.
The research group involves graduate and undergraduate students motivated to learning and performing research on a broad range of topics in Dynamics and Control.
