This $380,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports the development of a new dynamic frequency management system (DFMS) to enable interference-protected spectrum access for autonomous aerial systems, particularly unmanned aerial vehicles (UAS) operating in beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) scenarios.

The key objectives of the project are to: (1) design and validate the DFMS architecture for adaptive, location- and time-based spectrum allocation; (2) conduct multi-vehicle flight tests to collect extensive spectrum data for modeling interference and channel characteristics; (3) develop machine learning algorithms for cooperative spectrum sensing and autonomous spectrum monitoring; and (4) create a decentralized market system for UAS operators to access protected aviation spectrum in the 5030-5091 MHz band. The project aims to support the safe and scalable integration of UAS into the national airspace by addressing critical spectrum access challenges. The award has a period of performance from July 2025 through June 2028 and does not include any sub-awards.
