The emergenCITY cross-sectional mission Aerial Crisis Networks (ACN)
A functioning communication infrastructure has become a central part of our everyday life and its organization. We need it to make phone calls and write messages, to collect, send, and receive information – and increasingly to do so anywhere in the world and for many different groups with different user perspectives. The *Aerial Crisis Networks* (ACN) mission at emergenCITY is therefore researching communication networks that can be built or complemented by unmanned aerial systems (UAS), such as drones.
