A future with advanced aircraft of air mobility peoples of the sky will require that the United States will implement improved cops of cops which can alleviate potential risks long before takeoff – and NASA strives to develop the tools to get there.
Fillight planning is essential to ensure safety in complex and high risk of future airspace. A timely, predictive and up-to-date risk assessment in a single platform facilitates drone or air operators to check the flight plans for high-risk concerns.
NASA works on tools to provide these services and, in June, the Resilienx Inc. Aviation Safety Company has demonstrated how these tools can be integrated into commercial systems.
During a series of tests carried out in Resilienx installations in Syracuse, New York, the researchers used NASA services which allowed the flight operators to submit flight plans before departure, to obtain risk assessment results, then to decide to carry out the flights or to modify their flight plans and to reassess the risks. Allow operators to perform these tasks quickly reduces the risk of security to flight passengers as well as humans on the ground.
The three services developed by NASA aim to assess the unique risks associated with highly automated planes flying at low altitude compared to cities.
The partnership was managed as part of a research contract on Innovation in Small Business of Phase III NASA (SBIR), which is an extension of previous work to assess the risks linked to bad weather. This collaboration already leads to the transfer of direct security technology to the Resilienx platform. The partnership is also intended to provide indirect advantages for the partners and customers of Resilienx, such as American Air Force operators and the US, helping to advance the overall security of future aerial space operations.
This work is led by the NASA system security project as part of the Aviation Operations and Security Program in support of the Advanced Air Mission of the Agency. The mission aims to provide data, results and recommendations to guide the development by the industry of future taxis and drones.
