Cybersecurity is seen as an increasing threat to critical infrastructure and national security, and UAS (drones) have been identified as a potential area of vulnerability to foreign hacking and data breaches.

The FAA has approved a specially-designated area at Princeton’s Forrestal campus for research and recreational flights to take place without the need for Remote ID capability.

Remote ID requires, with very limited exceptions, that drones be registered with the FAA and operate with the ability to broadcast identifying information.

A Princeton PhD student may be unlocking the key to improved drone stability in windy conditions.

The Princeton small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) program has arranged for academic and recreational UAS flights to move to the James Forrestal Campus in Plainsboro.

Whether you are flying a drone for recreation, education or business purposes, the FAA now requires certification through one of several options.

New FAA rules for flying drones were instituted in 2018 and are in the process of coming into effect. Most relevant to educational flyers are the updated “special rule” recreational drone standards.

Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) are issued by the FAA for various hazards (such as wildfires), security reasons and presidential or vice-presidential travel.
The latter type, called VIP TFRs, consist of rings of restricted airspace extending out three nautical miles from the vice president and 30 nautical miles from the president…

Since last year, Princeton students have been doing intensive field work to study the impact of land-use change over a diverse and fast-changing landscape of forest, field, stream and lake.
What might be surprising is that all this work was done right here at Princeton. Undertaken in partnership with Facilities and the Office of…

In an article highlighting research projects by Princeton University undergraduates, the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI) shines a spotlight on important field data collection techniques utilizing drones.
Working at the Mpala Research Centre in Kenya, ecology and…
