EMBRY-RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY
AIR AND SPACE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Embry-Riddle’s research centers operate as mission-focused, interdisciplinary hubs aligned with strategic aerospace priorities. These high-impact investments enable coordinated, multi-investigator research addressing complex civil and defense challenges in advanced air mobility (AAM), space systems, cybersecurity and aviation safety. By integrating emerging data streams with advanced AI/ML analytics, our researchers enhance risk modeling, mission resilience and system performance across the global aerospace enterprise.
The Boeing Center for Aviation and Aerospace Safety at Embry-Riddle enables collaboration between industry and academia to tackle safety concerns in the increasingly complex aviation ecosystem. Leveraging thought leadership from Embry-Riddle faculty and industry partners, the Center provides innovative paths to improve safety. Through research and industry engagement, the Center provides real-time solutions to the industry, while preparing for the safety challenges of the future. The Center for Aerospace Resilience Systems (CARS) delivers mission-critical resilience solutions enabling aerospace operations in contested, degraded, and uncertain environments. As a nexus for high assurance aerospace research, CARS integrates expertise in AI/ML, cybersecurity, data science, avionics, and resilient systems to address emerging threats to safety-critical aviation and space infrastructure. Supporting national security and industry partners, CARS advances continuity of operations through multidisciplinary research, modeling and simulation, rapid prototyping, advanced and applied software engineering, strengthening mission assurance and operational effectiveness across aviation and space systems. The Center for Space and Atmospheric Research (CSAR) studies planetary atmospheres and space weather, including Atmosphere, Ionosphere, and Magnetosphere (AIM) systems. Its multidisciplinary team combines theory, modeling, observation, and experimentation to advance space and atmospheric science. In the past five years, CSAR researchers have supported more than a dozen sounding rocket launches and contributed instruments to satellites in LEO and on Mars missions. CSAR also conducts state-of-the- art modeling of lower-atmosphere and ionosphere coupling, for which it currently leads a $7.2M ONR Multi-University Research Initiative. Within CSAR, the Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Lab (SAIL) develops instruments to study planetary atmospheres and near- Earth Space Weather, and is capable of supporting export-controlled research. The Center for Advanced Air Mobility (CAAM) advances the safe and scalable future of next-generation aviation through applied research, workforce development, policy leadership, and technology transition. Leveraging Embry-Riddle’s expertise in safety, engineering, operations, and policy, CAAM addresses key challenges such as autonomy, airspace integration, certification, and environmental performance while supporting defense, government, and industry partners in deploying advanced air mobility systems.
