UAS Integration in the NAS Project UAS Commericalization Industry Conference
Description and Update of NASA UAS in the NAS Project
UAS Integration into the NAS: TCAS Mini HITL Subjective Results
This presentation provides an overview of subjective data from the TCAS Mini HITL simulation.
NASA UAS Integration into the NAS Project Detect and Avoid Display Evaluations
As part of the Air Force - NASA Bi-Annual Research Council Meeting, slides will be presented on phase 1 Detect and Avoid (DAA) display evaluations. A series of iterative human-in-the-loops (HITL) experiments were conducted with different display configurations to objectively measure pilot performance on maintaining well clear. To date, four simulations and two mini-HITLs have been conducted. Data from these experiments have been incorporated into a revised alerting structure and included in the RTCA SC 228 Phase 1 Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) proposal. Plans for phase 2 are briefly discussed.
UAS Integration in the NAS Project: Detect and Avoid Display UNITED Demo
This demo shows the UAS-NAS project's Vigilant Spirit Control Station developed in partnership with the U.S. Air Force Research Lab. Attendees will be able to view encounters and see how the DAA and TCAS II alerting and guidance displays are used to avoid simulated aircraft.

UAS Integration into the NAS: HSI Full Mission Simulation Analysis by Input Method
The goal of the Full Mission Sim was to examine the effects of different command and control interfaces on UAS pilots' ability to respond to ATC commands and traffic advisories. Results suggest that higher levels of automation (i.e., waypoint-to-waypoint control interfaces) lead to longer initial response times and longer edit times. The findings demonstrate the importance of providing pilots with interfaces that facilitate their ability to get back 'in the loop.'
UAS Integration into the NAS: HSI Display Evaluation Overview
This is a HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator) display evaluation overview presented to the RTCA (Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics) SC-228 Detect and Avoid Working group. The goal of the presentation is to provide data on the effect of various Detect and Avoid (DAA) display and guidance features with respect to pilot performance of the self-separation function in order to determine the minimum information requirements for DAA displays.
UAS Integration in the NAS: Encounter Rate Simulation Study with UAS Missions
This study investigates the effects that different parameters of a given well clear metric has on the rate of well clear violations (WCV) in Class E airspace. The proposed metrics are taken from variations on methods used by TCAS IIand also considers different alerting schemes against the well clear metric. This presentation is divided into three analysis. The first analysis presented investigates the effect of well clear definitions on the rate of WCV occurrence. The second analysis characterises encounters at the WCV and the third analysis evaluates the alerting threshold definition and criteria. This study should inform refinement of an appropriate definition of well clear for UAS sense and avoid systems and motivate further research on exploring alerting definitions and criteria for a given well clear definition.
Examination of Frameworks for Safe Integration of Intelligent Small UAS into the NAS
This paper discusses a proposed framework for the safe integration of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) into the National Airspace System (NAS). The paper briefly examines the potential uses of sUAS to build an understanding of the location and frequency of potential future flight operations based on the future applications of the sUAS systems. The paper then examines the types of systems that would be required to meet the application-level demand to determine "classes" of platforms and operations. A framework for categorization of the "intelligence" level of the UAS is postulated for purposes of NAS integration. Finally, constraints on the intelligent systems are postulated to ensure their ease of integration into the NAS.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Integration in the National Airspace System (NAS) Project
NASA's UAS Integration in the NAS project, has partnered with Rockwell Collins to develop a concept Control and Non-Payload Communication system prototype radio, operating on recently allocated UAS frequency spectrum bands. The prototype radio will be used to validate initial proposed performance requirements for UAS control communications. This presentation will give an overview of the current status of the design, development, and flight test planning for this prototype radio.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Integration in the National Airspace System (NAS) Project: Detect and Avoid Display Evaluations in Support of SC-228 Minimum Operational Performance Standards Development
The primary activity for the UAS-NAS Human Systems Integration (HSI) sub-project in Phase 1 was support of RTCA Special Committee 228 Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS). We provide data on the effect of various Detect and Avoid (DAA) display features with respect to pilot performance of the remain well clear function in order to determine the minimum requirements for DAA displays.
