Cognitive radio development for UAS applications

This paper presents an overview of unmanned aircraft systems developed at the University of Colorado and the development of a new software defined radio sensor that will be integrated into the existing systems. The architecture and performance of the new sensor is discussed. Potential research applications enabled by the radio sensor are covered.
