Projects

Utilizing NASA’s MiDAR Fluid Lensing and NeMO-Net for Automated Airborne Detection, Localization, and Characterization of Underwater Military Munitions

Department of Defense Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP)

This experimental effort is anticipated to validate the ability of these novel technologies to detect submerged munitions in a cost-effective and rapid way, using unmanned aircraft to image large areas and machine learning to rapidly process data. Fluid lensing’s ability to image through wave breaks and surf significantly improves domain awareness in this field and would be a leap forward in mitigating the threat of submerged munitions.

Drone Center Expansion

NASA- Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024

The 2024 Consolidated Appropriations Act allocated an additional $600,000 to support the development of the ACES Drone Center.
