Abstract

The UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) in the NAS (National Airspace System) project is conducting its first investigation of UAS operations in the terminal environment. A workshop is being held to get input from key stakeholders on the experimental design and scenario development occuring for this simulation, which intends to begin data collection in September 2017. These slides cover the proposed design and methodolgy for the experiment.

Autonomous Coordinated Airspace Services for Terminal and Enroute Operations with Wind Errors

As novel uses of the airspace continue to multiply, there is increasing demand for access to high-density terminal areas around major airports. Since the predicted demand for urban-air-mobility and urban-package-delivery is very high, and the interactions between these different types of aircraft and missions will be extremely complex, increasingly autonomous systems will be required to manage safety and efficiency. This paper presents the current status of an autonomous safety system designed to ensure safe and efficient trajectories for aircraft in terminal airspace, the Terminal Advanced Airspace Concept. Previous papers have demonstrated the efficacy of this algorithm for handling commercial arrivals into a complex metroplex when there is no uncertainty present. This study extends that work to demonstrate the performance of the algorithm under high levels of uncertainty.
