School of Aeronautics and Astronautics Professor Emeritus Terrence Weisshaar has received the 2014 NATO Science and Technology Scientific Achievement Award for his contribution to AVT-174 on Qualification and Structural Design Guidelines for Military UAVs.

In the period between 2010 and 2012, Dr. Weisshaar and the other members of the Technical Group provided an outstanding contribution to the mission of the NATO Science and Technology Organization, conducting extensive co-operative research in the field of Military UAVS. Further, the results generated by AVT-174 were directly and immediately exploited within NATO and NATO nations as they were specifically requested by various industry and research institutions.

Encompassing a network of over 3,000 scientists and engineers from across the Alliance and its Partners, the STO promotes and conducts co-operative research and information exchange across the full spectrum of defense research, develops and maintains a long-term NATO research and technology strategy, and provides advice to all elements of NATO on research and technology issues. As well, it is the largest such research group in the world. Congratulations to Dr. Weisshaar on this award!
