Chesapeake UAS Route Network
Development and integration of a network designed to enable unmanned aircraft to be flown safely within airspace over the Chesapeake Bay region that also includes conventional, piloted aircraft. In addition, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) utilizing the network could fly beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and over populated areas. Currently, most UAS operations are constrained by BVLOS requirements and restrictions on flying over people.

ArtIAMAS is a collaboration between the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), the University of Maryland College Park (UMD), and the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) focused on developing advanced multi-agent systems for challenging environments, with research centered on engineering coordinated autonomous systems, building secure and resilient technologies, and enhancing human-machine collaboration.
UROC supports ArtIAMAS by operating ARL’s existing UAS, designing and building new drones, and contributing to research by improving drone algorithms and behaviors. A key focus is Project 1.5, which develops aerial autonomy for drone swarms to coordinate searches in contested areas, even when no centralized communications are available.
