Unmanned Aircraft System Airspace Integration Initiatives
Abstract
Starting in FY 2010, the Department's sense and avoid (SAA) developmental efforts are enhanced by this defense-wide program element. This program has provided joint funding to accelerate the development of SAA technology and standards to enable UAS to routinely access the national and international airspace systems. This program also supports development of UAS airspace integration policy and standards as well as the modeling, simulation, and operational analysis needed to validate the standards. In FY 2013, ABSAA and GBSAA efforts transitioned to the Services. FY 2020 Accomplishments: Completed Final Operational Capability at Bealle AFB. GBSAA system at Grand Forks installation completed. FOC delayed due to reduction in Air Force funding in UAS Command and Control system software. Completed full testing of UTM Architecture and DoD unmanned Service Supplier System interfaces in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security and NASA. Completed DoD Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for UAS Integration into the UTM system. Conducted Integration of UTM into DoD Counter UAS Systems.
