roots in air traffic control research
traditional air traffic control research and simulation

future of aviation
advancing technologies enable new aircraft types, increased demand for airspace, and need to safely manage the airspace
National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationNational Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 3
UAS traffic management (UTM) project
new paradigm of air traffic management using a distributed network of service providers
clear path forward for multiple areas of research,
often overlapping National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 4
STEReOScalable Traffic Management
NASA’s UAS Traffic Management (UTM) System• access the airspace and coordinate
use
• standardized platform for sharing operation information & data
National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 5
STEReOEmergency Response Operations
existing challenges include…• limited communication and
infrastructure• manual coordination to deconflict
airspace• large number low altitude aerial
missions (e.g. search and rescue)• remote sensing data can’t be
received in a timely manner National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 6
To what extent can a STEReO ecosystem
Provide operational resiliency to dynamic
changes during a disaster event
Scale aircraft operations
Reduce response times
7National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 7
National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 8
Communicationspersistent, interoperable, and expanded
allocation of band for tracking UAS operations without burdening existing networks
National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 9
UTM Servicesairspace coordination and management
alleviates workload associated with incorporation of UAS operations
National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 10
Autonomymission driven on-board decision making
support mission tasks and safe separation with payload directed flight
National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 11
Domain Expertise& Toolssubject matter experts and stakeholders
collaboration on problem definitions, barriers and solutions
National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 12
Human Factorsconcept and information requirements
distributed virtual collaboration tools that demonstrate the information to action cycle
National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 13
Targeted use-cases
California wildfire field demonstration Florida post-hurricane simulation
14National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO
Connected, adaptive, and autonomous operations
The application of UTM, ad-hoc communication networks, vehicle to vehicle communication, and onboard autonomy to enable airspace management and ensure the safety and resilience of the operations
National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 15
Distributed Virtual CollaborationCollaborative tools to ingest data and distribute a common operating picture for all stakeholders for strategic planning and decision-making
National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 16
Why is STEReO transofmarional?
ADDRESSES RESILIENCY
GAP FOR UTM/UAM
ECOSYSTEM
FOSTER THE UAS/UTM
EXPANSION TO PUBLIC
SAFETY COMMUNITY
ADVANCES STATE-OF-THE
ART IN ONBOARD
AUTONOMY
National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEReO 17
Why Is STEReO “Transformational?”
Who cares?FAA, UAS industry, Public Safety Agencies, and General Public
Community benefits• faster recovery• more situation
awareness during disaster
System level benefits• increases capacity of
operations under a restricted airspace (e.g. TFR)
