🚁 NC State ECE is helping shape the future of drone communication.
Professor Ismail Guvenc is part of a 10-university team selected for an $8M NASA University Leadership Initiative to improve how drones communicate — especially in challenging, real-world conditions.
“This is advancing the state of the art in an area of critical and timely significance,” said Guvenc. “We’ll be modeling behavior and testing hybrid airborne-terrestrial networks right here at NC State using our AERPAW platform.”
From wildfire response to future delivery systems, the team’s work could make drone operations safer, smarter and more scalable.
