Congratulations to the Computer Science and Engineering faculty who conducted a successful test April 22 of a drone designed to ignite prescribed fires in grasslands and forests. The team, led by Carrick Detweiler and Sebastian Elbaum, tested the device at Homestead National Monument near Beatrice.
The test has received lots of media attention, locally as well as nationally and even internationally, including USA Today and the Daily Mail.
