There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The world is no longer flat, says Henrik I. Christensen, the closing keynote speaker at AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems 2015.
Christensen, director of Georgia Tech’s Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines, said economist Thomas Friedman’s theory that low wages and cheap transportation means that products can be built anywhere is no longer holding true.
