New submissions to the thesis/dissertation collections are added automatically as they are received from the Graduate School. Currently, the Graduate School deposits all theses and dissertations from a given semester after the official graduation date. This means that there may be up to a 4 month delay in the appearance of a given thesis/dissertation in DRUM.

More information is available at Theses and Dissertations at University of Maryland Libraries.

    Distributed Search Method for Teams of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems
    (2018) Moschler, Jacob D.; Baras, John S; Systems Engineering; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    We apply Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methods to develop requirements for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) use cases across industries and create new path planning algorithms for one group of use cases with similar requirements. We then develop and validate models to estimate cost versus data quality for the aforementioned group of use cases. We use our models in conjunction with the MBSE process to plan and execute flights beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) to scan large areas of remote jungle using small UAS.
