The RMIT Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Research Team (RUASRT) is dedicated to enabling the safe and efficient operation of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) in a variety of civil, commercial and defence applications. UAS, also commonly referred to as drones, are the fastest growing sector of the aviation industry. Australia is well-positioned to capitalise on this emerging technology, which have many highly beneficial applications in defence, emergency services, mining, agriculture, media, law enforcement, infrastructure inspection and environmental management.

 The RUASRT comprises a multi-disciplinary team of world leading researchers at RMIT University. The team includes senior academics, research fellows, PhD students, and undergraduate engineering students. More about our research team here. Want to join the research team?
