Tender Details

The Airspace Operations and Safety Program (AOSP), under the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is conducting a Communication, Navigation, Surveillance, and Security (CNS&S) Roadmap effort for urban air mobility (UAM). The framework as presented is an initial draft approach for CNS&S aspects of mid-term UAM operations within the National Airspace System (NAS) as described in the FAA-s UAM Concept of Operations 2.0. NASA is seeking industry and other government agency feedback as defined in the RFI response questions below to build out a robust roadmap for all CNS&S considerations to help guide future research at NASA.
Background
NASA ARMD has identified four focus areas to characterize its priorities: Revolutionize Aerospace Engineering Methods, Pioneer High Speed Flight, Automate Airspace and Safety Management Capabilities, and Transform Propulsion. AOSP contributes to the Automate Airspace and Safety Management Capabilities focus area which includes researching new concepts and developing requirements to enable efficient, safe, and scalable operations for current and emergent operations in the NAS. Work is underway to ensure safe integration of remotely piloted vehicles and/or electrified vehicles that are expected to fly in or around urban areas. NASA research seeks to obtain the viability of new concepts and requirements while other government organizations, primarily the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), are responsible for oversight and qualification of industry provided technologies.
CNS&S Roadmap Overview
Importance to enabling future operations
The FAA and industry expect to conduct initial UAM operations under the existing regulatory framework (inclusive of memorandums of understanding (MOUs), waivers, exceptions, or new rules) and automation systems. However, when the tempo increases and/or new and novel operations commence (e.g. remotely piloted air taxis), new t...
