The Need

The rapid growth of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) presents a critical need for effective traffic management solutions that balance increasing autonomy with operational efficiency and safety. As airspace becomes more congested with diverse aerial vehicles, there is a demand for innovative technologies that seamlessly integrate artificial intelligence and machine learning to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow while allowing for human oversight.

The Technology

Our groundbreaking technology harnesses the power of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and increasing autonomy to revolutionize traffic management for UAM and UAS operations. This technology promotes coordination between automated systems and human operators, resulting in enhanced safety and operational efficiency. We introduce a Contingency Planning Toolkit that enables effective collaboration between humans and automation for coordinated contingency planning in both routine and unexpected scenarios.

Commercial Applications

• Urban Air Mobility (UAM): Streamlining traffic management for air taxis and transportation drones, reducing congestion and improving travel efficiency within urban areas.
• Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS): Enabling safe and coordinated operations of delivery drones, surveillance drones, and other unmanned aerial vehicles in shared airspace.
• Aerial Logistics: Optimizing the logistics of cargo delivery through uncrewed aircraft, minimizing delivery times and reducing operational costs.
• Emergency Response: Facilitating the swift and coordinated deployment of unmanned aircraft during emergency situations, such as search and rescue missions and disaster assessment.
• Infrastructure Inspection: Enhancing the efficiency and safety of infrastructure inspection by utilizing UAS for tasks like bridge assessments and power line inspections.
