Abstract

The goal of the UAS Integration in the NAS Project is to contribute capabilities that reduce technical barriers related to the safety and operational challenges associated with enabling routine UAS access to the NAS. Leveraging Current NASA Investments - UAS NAS Access Activities Underway will provide immediate benefits to the UAS community. Partnership Plan - NASA has engaged key stakeholders in the planning of this project and will continue to do so to leverage assets of OGA´s, industry and academia to execute plan. Technical Plan - Technical elements have been vetted with stakeholders and are complementary efforts - Project will employ a two-phased approach in which validation of key technical elements will be assessed in Phase 1; Phase 2 will focus on maturing and testing technical foci in relevant environments.
