ASCI 530 – Unmanned Systems
Research Project
Delayed Integration of the National Airspace System

Student no. 1

10 November, 2019

Detailed summary of

  • UAS with provide future growth in NAS with

Economic growth

Technological advancement

  • How will UAS integrate into NAS

Technology such as NextGen

Regulations

  • Why such a delay in integration of NAS with UAS

NAS not ready to handle such demand

Assistant administrator for NextGen

  • James T. Eck
  • Not ready for integration until 2025

Summary

  • False hope of ready to go now

News articles

  • Google delivery by UAS
  • Amazon delivery by UAS
  • Rushing such technology into NAS

Risk safety of flight

Funds need to be appropriated by Congress

Issue/Prob Statement

  • If UAS integrated into NAS with manned aircraft

Entire system would crash

  • NAS flights

50,000 flight per day

1% growth added each year

Next 21 years

  • DOT IG thinks NextGen

A bit too rosy

Significance of Issue

Background

  • Military has set example of UAS

Technology

Integration with manned flight

11,000 UAS flights

  • Domestic
  • International

Significance of Issue

Related Research and Development

  • Zachary Barbeau (2017)

Paper regarding Air Traffic Management

Realized a large research gap regarding UAS in NAS

Actually tested sUAS at an airport

  • Discussed considerations such as altitude of UAS
  • Flight characteristics

Discussed use of Part 107

Significance of Issue

Related Research and Development

  • Matthew Wollert (2018)
  • Conducted a survey

157 individuals

Address the growing need of UAS to fill the demand for manned aviation

Multitude of questions

  • Perception of just having one pilot
  • Perception of having no pilot

For cargo

For passengers

Survey is justified, but UAS is coming to the NAS

Significance of Issue

Technological Advancements

  • FAA working groups

NAS Lifecycle Planning Division

  • Portfolio Operations
  • Communications & Integration
  • Navigation & Landing
  • Surveillance and Automation Branch
  • Large entities working towards integration

NASA

Google

Airware

AT&T Government Solutions

Aerotas

Amazon

Significance of Issue

Technological Advancements

  • ADS-B

Manned aircraft requirement

Uses GPS

Ground based stations

Onboard aircraft with Mode S transponder

WAAS enabled GPS

Savings

  • Fly direct routes
  • Minimize exhaust emissions
  • Less flight time to destination
  • Not required for sUAS use at this time

Capability already exists for ADS-B technology on sUAS

Significance of Issue

Technological Advancements

  • Aireon company (2019)

Total of 75 deployed Iridium Next satellites

  • Conducts ADS-B service

Currently processing more than 13 million ADS-B messages per month

Significance of Issue

Technological Advancements

  • National Airspace Systems Enterprise Messaging Services (HARRIS, 2015)

Key part to information flow behind NextGen

Significance of Issue

  • To stop the threat from UAS

Use technology

  • Physically jam UAS
  • Physically capture UAS

Alternative Actions

  • How to allow UAS integration with manned aircraft earlier than 2025

Utilize NEMS

  • Permit a way for UAS to communicate with ATC

By phone

By chat

By email

  • Keeps situational awareness high between

Manned aircraft

UAS

Recommendation

  • Hire additional FAA personnel

Handle incoming information from UAS operators

  • Have Congress fund NextGen technology now
  • Improve technology inside GCS

User friendly

  • Improve path to training

Pilots

UAS operators

Recommendation
