The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi $365,996 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop and evaluate an air-to-ground autonomous vehicle network integrating stacked intelligent metasurface (SIM) antennas with unmanned aerial vehicles as mobile communication and computing platforms. The research addresses latency, reliability, and energy consumption challenges in vehicular networks by leveraging UAVs to provide edge computing and communication services, with signal-processing tasks shifted from power-hungry digital hardware to programmable analog metasurface antennas. The system employs AI-driven resource allocation, UAV trajectory planning, and vehicle offloading strategies organized across three research thrusts: predictive multi-agent spatiotemporal intelligence to forecast mobility and quality of service; scalable AI-driven control methods to jointly optimize UAV positioning, vehicle task offloading, radio resource management, and SIM configuration; and integration and experimental validation. The integrated education plan encompasses undergraduate research engagement, new graduate courses, drone coding and traffic safety challenges, and development of a disaster-relief pop-up connectivity kit for emergency communication. The project will release datasets and open-source software. Performance occurs at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi in Corpus Christi, Texas, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031.
