Title :
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) integration in the National Airspace System (NAS) project: UAS Control and Non-Payload Communication (CNPC) System Prototype Status
Abstract :
On Nov 1, 2011, NASA initiated a three-year shared resource cooperative agreement with Rockwell Collins to demonstrate and support the further development of a Unmanned Aircraft CNPC System. Develop both ground and airborne prototype CNPC radios to provide a basis for validating and verifying proposed RTCA SC-203 CNPC system performance requirements. Demonstrate a complete CNPC system, including interfacing to a ground based pilot station, transmission of CNPC data to/from more than one ground station, and onboard reception and transmission of CNPC data on more than one UA.
