Research

UAEREP’s current awardees are already carrying out ground-breaking work to enhance precipitation. The approaches include:

The interdisciplinary nature of the awarded projects leverages the latest advancements in material science and nanotechnology for the development of novel seeding materials, autonomous unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for more robust and cost-effective delivery platforms, smart sensors for in-cloud charge sensing and delivery, reverse-engineered thermal and/or directed energy systems to stimulate updrafts and convection, and machine learning tools for more efficient cloud forecasting and targeting systems.
