Traditional high-altitude, long-endurance UAVs are hindered by propulsion system constraints. UArizona's Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering has found a way to utilize sail plane technology to provide persistent ISR well beyond the capabilities of conventional propulsion driven UAVs. They call it the AZ Flyer. Composed of low-cost, dynamically manufactured materials, the AZ Flyer is capable of handling diverse payloads and providing services and extended operational time that well outperforms traditional UAV platforms.

Stop by the UA-ARC booth, number 411, next week at the . We will be showcasing a capability from the Unveristy of Arizona’s College of Applied Science and Technology.

UArizona's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is an AI backed virtual world designed to replicate the open internet. The VLE provides a real-life environment for students and faculty to work hand-in-hand, training the next generation of cyber professionals to meet the demands of future cyber threats.

The VLE utilizes a virtual world called CyberApolis which houses over 500 companies and 15,000 AI personas who interact through social media platforms. This immersive world allows students to train their critical skills in a virtual sandbox, from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

This tool has enabled UArizona's Cyber program to become 1 of 21 programs in the Nation designated as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations (CAE-CO) by the National Security Agency (NSA) and 1 of 31 to meet the criteria for the Intelligence Community Center of Academic Excellence (IC-CAE) certification.

Join us from December 5 – 8 at the 2021 Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DoDIIS) Worldwide Conference in Phoenix! This year’s conference theme: Foresight 20/20: Building a New Digital Ecosystem places emphasis on “the urgent race to discover and adopt innovative solutions to maintain a competitive strategic advantage over our adversaries”. UA-ARC will show case UArizona’s capabilities such as The Virtual Learning Environment, an AI backed virtual world designed to replicate the open internet, and the AZ Flyer, a persistent ISR UAV aimed at multi-day operations. Stop by booth #411 to learn more about what we have to offer.

Curious about what other capabilities we have to offer? We’d love to answer any questions. Please schedule an appointment to stop by the booth via email at [email protected]

The University of Arizona Applied Research Corporation hosted a roundtable discussion in celebration of the opening of The University of Arizona Washington, D.C. Center for Outreach & Collaboration. This center “was created to bring the university’s experts, students, alumni and supporters together in the nation’s capital to amplify our positive impact,” says University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins. The nearly 14,000-square-foot office space is located at the corner of 13th Street Northwest and Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest in Washington, D.C.

GEOST, an optical systems company in Marana, have tasked Team 22060 of the University of Arizona College of Engineering with creating a torque and force measurement system for satellites. The purpose of this system is to eliminate external interference on satellites in a test environment, imitating the absence of atmospheric disturbances, similar to that of space. GEOST, who works frequently with classified U.S. military projects, are sponsoring this capstone under "mock classified" conditions. Team 22060 will gain valuable experience working under classified conditions without the stakes of an actual classified environment.

With $173.5M in research awards, the The University of Arizona's Health Sciences (UAHS) department is no joke.

UArizona is a Top 20 Public Research University in the United States and understands the importance of research when it comes to addressing new challenges.

Most recently, Center to Stream Healthcare in Place (C2SHIP), a UArizona led research center, received a National Science Foundation grant of $3 million. This grant serves as a continuation from an initial $15,000 received in startup funding back in 2018.

Curious about what C2SHIP is up to? Check out the full article here: https://news.arizona.edu/story/3m-grant-uarizona-led-center-advance-home-health-care-technology

The C2SHIP center is only one of many centers, labs and institutes at UArizona dedicated to accelerating innovation in health.

With access to all of UAHS's services, selecting UA-ARC is the first step in the right direction.

Researchers are building a future in which wearable devices will allow clinicians to gather patient data remotely and provide "care in place" to patients at home.

Researchers at the College of Engineering at the University of Arizona have demonstrated new potential with quantum resources.

Qubits, a small but powerful unit of information, possesses a very unique ability to exist as both 0s and 1s, which is something its classical computing counterpart cannot do.

This ability to exist in both states presents promising experimental data to researchers, and could potentially be the link between many domains in .

Researchers in the College of Engineering and James C. Wyant College of Optical Sciences have demonstrated how quantum resources can improve technology today.
