NASA has initiated tests on advanced tools that will increase the safety of drones. safety of drones and aerial vehicles and aerial vehicles before they take off, with the aim of ensuring safe operations in urban environments.
Rigorous testing in drone safety
Pre-flight planning becomes essential in a scenario whereautomated aircraft will share the sky with commercial aircraft. To this end, NASA, in collaboration with the company ResilienX, has developed three services that allow operators to file flight plans, receive real-time risk assessments and modify their routes if necessary.
[post_relacionado]The tests were conducted at the ResilienX facility in Syracuse, New York, where it was demonstrated how these tools can be integrated into commercial platforms. In addition, the results enable operators to make quick decisions that protect both passengers and people on the ground.
This project is part of NASA’s Advanced Air Mobility mission, and is part of the Airspace Operations and Safety program, supported by the SBIR Phase III contract. In addition to directly benefiting ResilienX, the initiative seeks to improve safety for customers such as the U.S. Air Force and regional operators.
