NASA is exploring a new area of technology. The space agency announced Monday that three teams of researchers are exploring potential solutions for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). "Our idea is to invest a very modest amount of time and money into new technologies that are ambitious and potentially transformative. They may or may not work, but we won't know unless we try," Richard Barhydt, NASA's acting director of the Transformative Aeronautics Concepts Program stated in the press release. The three teams together form the NASA's Convergent Aeronautics Solutions project are expected to publish their findings in 24-30 months.
