NOAA has awarded nearly $2.5 million in grant funding to the University of Southern Mississippi to support the development of a Data Assembly Hub for Uncrewed Systems , which are autonomous or remotely operated vehicles that collect environmental data.
“This grant will support a creative team of academic, industry and government innovators who care about making NOAA’s uncrewed systems data available to the world,” said Dr. Henry Jones, USM’s Director of Research Development and Scientific Entrepreneurship. “The Data Assembly Hub will support businesses, policy makers and researchers into the future and enable the latest artificial intelligence techniques.
For example, UxS can take on a variety of data types, ranging from bathymetric data to salinity, temperature data and full-motion video at high resolution. Any system that is designed to help manage the increasing amount of data also has to accommodate these different types of data. This focus on student involvement in New Blue Economy received separate funding earlier this summer. NOAA Ocean Exploration recently awarded nearly $860k to USM through theto support UxS technologies and management of UxS data and to increase diversity in the blue economy workforce.
