The University of Maryland (UMD) MATRIX Lab is announcing its partnership with BlueHalo, a leading provider of critical capabilities and technologies across Space, Air, and Cyber domains, on long-range communications and autonomy testing efforts. The UMD UAS Research and Operations Center (UROC) will also be collaborating on these efforts, bringing their drone expertise. The MATRIX Lab and UROC are enthusiastically providing BlueHalo with facilities, resources, and expertise. UROC will be working with BlueHalo initially on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and communications, while the MATRIX Lab’s open air-land lab and anechoic chamber will be utilized for research and indoor testing.
