UAS Inspections of Critical Infrastructure 
The 2017 Resilience Challenge Grant project sought to develop technologies for UAS (drone) employment to inspect critical infrastructure in post disaster scenarios.  The CRDR partnered with Northeastern University’s Global Resilience Institute (GRI) for this project. 
2017 Project Home
Critical Infrastructure Reentry and Situational Awareness Project (CIRSAP) ​
​The 2019 Resilience Challenge Grant project seeks to develop methodologies to allow for the rapid inspection of critical infrastructure in post-disasters using drones (also called Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)). This information can then be shared with state level emergency management agencies to establish better situational awareness and a common operating picture.
