Zoom-style speaker event with Rex Groves of the Hardware Factors Team of AIAA UAP, which is the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Integration and Outreach Committee within the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).

Description: The hardware factors group at AIAA UAP is composed of a world-class team of experts with diverse and advanced backgrounds in aerospace engineering, physics, electrical engineering, mathematics, and data science. The group brings unparalleled expertise to the detection, characterization, and evaluation of UAP. Their work evaluates cutting-edge aerospace and sensor technologies to suggest systems capable of capturing high-quality data. This session will discuss what is known about the performance of these objects as well as the methods, challenges and technical work involved in the study of this phenomenon.

Rex D. Groves (B.S. ’80 , M.S. ’82 WVA) is presently a consulting physicist for the Food and Drug Administration. Rex has worked and led many analytic logistic assignments in the federal space including the Pentagon, Defense Logistics Agency, Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, NAVAIR and the U.S. Army. In his role as a logistics lead for the Department of Defense, he spearheaded a group using advanced mathematical techniques and modeling to enhance troop rotations in and out of Iraq during the global war on terror. As a member of the Hardware Factors group, Rex provides insight into the fundamental physics of the UAP phenomenon and is active incorporating UAP detection schemes at an observatory site in New Mexico.
