number of diverse aircraft users,” said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson.
The grant awardees are summarized as follows:
Conduct Advanced Materials Investigation - Composite Material Analysis for Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)
This research aims to identify, assess, and understand the types of composites and other advanced materials used in drones and Advanced Air Mobility. These activities will be critical for developing standards and regulations to use these advanced materials in aircraft.
• •
Mississippi State University: $157,000 Wichita State University: $161,958
Propose Right-of-Way Rules for UAS Operations and Safety Recommendations
Right-of-way rules keep aircraft safely separated. This research will explore right-of-way rules for a wide variety of drone operations. It will provide safety-based recommendations for the FAA and drone industry standards organizations to consider in establishing drone detect-and-avoid requirements.
• Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University: $330,000
• • •
University of Kansas: $494,525 University of North Dakota: $569,242
Identify Flight Recorder Requirements for UAS Integration into the NAS
Flight recorders can provide valuable data when drone incidents occur. This research will explore flight-recorder requirements for drones, including remotely piloted advanced air mobility aircraft. The universities will share the findings with the European Organization for Civil Aviation Equipment.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University: $298,145 Wichita State University: $400,000 University of North Dakota: $390,945
The announcement is the third round of Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE) grants, which brings the total of 57 grants valued at $19.1 million for Fiscal Year 2021. The ASSURE Center of Excellence is one of six that the agency has established to help advance technology and educate the next generation of aviation professionals. Research conducted through ASSURE is focused on helping the drone market safely grow and integrate into the nation’s airspace. More than 800,000 recreational and commercial drones are in the active drone fleet, and that number is expected to grow.
