Networked UAVs: Arming drones with Wi-Fi to support emergency response

With support from the National Science Foundation, electrical engineer Yan Wan and a team at the University of Texas at Arlington are developing a new generation of "networked" unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to bring long distance, broadband communications capability to first responders in the field. The research in this episode was supported by NSF grants #1714519 "CAREER: Co-Design of Networking and Decentralized Control to Enable Aerial Networks in an Uncertain Airspace" and #1522458 "EAGER: Aerial Communication Infrastructure for Smart Emergency Response."
