Welcome to Rotorcraft Systems Engineering & Simulation Center
RSESC is a multifaceted research center focused on applied research and on systems engineering techniques to enhance success for government, industry, commercial, and small business partners. Our expertise in the area of Autonomous Aerospace Research (A2R) reinforces proven, unparalleled capabilities in Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), Vertical Lift, Model-Based Systems Engineering, System Integration & Interoperability, and uSOURCE (Student Support Staffing Programs). Our Center is a member of the Federal Aviation Administration Unmanned Aircraft Systems Center of Excellence supporting the integration of UAS in the National Airspace System, while working with the Department of Defense in robotic threats and counter autonomous solutions.
Our multi-disciplined team has decades of hardware and software experience including analysis, design, prototyping, fabrication, modeling, simulation, testing, and integration of complex engineered systems deployed in the air, space, ground and water. We excel with projects from concept, through design, verification, prototyping, integration, deployment, retrofitting, and obsolescence/disposal.
We are dedicated to excellence in developing tomorrow鈥檚 aerospace and autonomous engineering solutions today!
