Research focus may include areas of interest in: positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems, including but not limited to satellite navigation, inertial, celestial, and vision-based navigation; integration of novel remote sensing payloads with spaceborne, airborne, and ground-based platforms; sensor fusion and estimation theory for autonomous and uncrewed aerospace systems; space situational awareness and orbit determination; distributed and networked sensing architectures (e.g., small satellite constellations, swarms, or UAS); onboard and ground-based information and signal processing, including machine learning and data fusion for navigation and sensing applications; resilient and secure navigation and communication systems. The Smead Aerospace Sciences Department has active research programs spanning the breadth of aerospace engineering sciences through the Research and Engineering Center for Uncrewed Systems (RECUV), the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research (CCAR), the Aerospace Mechanics Research Center (AMReC), BioServe Space Technologies (BioServe), the Integrated Remote and In-Situ Sensing (IRISS) initiative, and the new CEAS Robotics Program.
