Center for Cooperative Systems

Director: Dr. Yong-DuanSong, College of Engineering

The mission of the Center for Cooperative Systems (COS) is to perform high-impact research in aerospace, space exploration and biomimetics. The Center's  main focus is on the analysis, design, and simulation of advanced cooperative systems technologies for making current and future aerospace transportation more affordable, more efficient and more reliable.

The major areas of research in COS center are:

• High confidence avionic system technologies for enhancing space vehicle mission planning and analysis
• Flight dynamics, guidance/navigation and control
• Crew system health diagnosis/monitoring, fault accommodation and reliability
• Manned and unmanned vehicle formation and cooperation
• Biomimetics for system adaptation and reconfiguration  

The center's major function is to provide a home across departments for faculty and students interested in cooperative systems engineering methodologies and their relevance to application domains encompassing the analysis, design, management and simulation of complex cooperative systems.

Within the scope of these interdisciplinary methodologies and application areas, the Center's objectives are to:

• Foster interdisciplinary collaboration in systems research amongst faculty and graduate students at NC A&T State  University
• Enhance access to related interdisciplinary activities throughout A&T
• Strengthen graduate and undergraduate student recruitment opportunities and improve retention of faculty who have achieved excellence in the field
• Collaborate with industry and government on systems applications critical to the implementation of emerging technologies
