Initiatives

3-Year Initiative for Underrepresented Regions

New businesses that support commercial growth in distributed sensing technology
Increase AESS membership 
Courses for engineering growth in regional aerospace technology Encourage YP and small businesses to establish technical and sustainable products

Expect to Grow Technical Capabilities

Focus on small drones, cyber security, and distributed sensing (Radar/EO/Data Fusion) for future commercial applications within geoscience and border security
Significant increase in students and YP for Regions 9 and 10 
Encourage industry support and development of new technology courses

This initiative is led by Mark E. Davis.

Beyond 5G and 6G networks will provide value-added services beyond simple connectivity, supporting critical applications such as connected vehicles, autonomous factories, smart cities, and autonomous mobile networks, among others. This “nervous system” of smart networks and services will be populated by many smart devices, requiring data-centric services under stringent delay constraints despite the huge amounts of data sensed, generated, and shared. In this context, the paradigm of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) represents a promising enabler for a better quality of service and a “greener” environment, as it primarily aims at reducing EM pollution, optimizing resources and saving energy. The need for this new paradigm is explained by the increasing use of the spectrum resources with a huge number of different sources, devoted to both sensing, like radars, and communication purposes.

This initiative is led by Maria Sabrina Greco.
