NASA Secure and Safe Assured Autonomy Developing a unified UAM use case to demonstrate diverse research efforts.
- 1. Secure and Safe Assured Autonomy Developing a unified UAM use case to demonstrate diverse research efforts. Challenge - Secure and Safe Autonomy Assurance (S2A2) is a University-led initiative that focuses on developing new technologies and innovative operational concepts for realizing Urban Air Mobility (UAM) in a safe, secure, and robust manner. - This project involves more than a dozen teams from three universities and an industry partner. - To handle the complexities of the UAM concept, these teams have been assigned individual research tasks that contribute to one of the following four technical challenge (TC) areas: TC1: Safe Perception, Coordination, Planning, and Navigation TC3: Verification & Validation and Test & Evaluation Expected Impacts - UAM is a complex concept; therefore, different teams are contributing to different segments of the problem using a wide range of technical approaches and research methods. - For example, some teams are using simulations to test and validate their algorithms, while others have set up experiments with UAVs to approximate passenger-carrying aerial vehicles. - While such differences are helpful in adding new perspectives to the problem, they can also dissipate the overarching goal of the project. Partners and Participants • North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, Lead University, TC-1 Lead, TC-3 Lead. • Georgia Institute of Technology, TC-1 Co-lead, TC-3 Co-Lead, and TC-4 Co-Lead. • Purdue University, TC-2 Lead, TC-4 Lead. • Aurora Flight Sciences, System Integration Partner. Proposed Solution - A common use case scenario, defined as follows: • 28 vertiports in the Greater Atlanta Metro Area. • One UAM fleet operator, one service provider (PSU). • Flight schedule with 50+ passenger-carrying trips over a 30- minute period. - Each team selects a part of the common use case to demonstrate their research. - This approach retains the individuality of each team’s research while providing a shared narrative that enables collaboration and highlights the real-world impact of each research task within the S2A2 project. Implementation and Expected Results TC2: Secured Autonomy TC4: System Integration Goal: Develop flexible and adaptive coordination and control algorithms for UAM. Goal: Provide provable guarantees of correctness of the UAM software via V&V and support them through T&E. Goal: Integrate research efforts across all TCs through dependency analytics, simulation and experimental tests. Goal: Develop resilient control and machine learning-based methods to defend against or mitigate cyberattacks.
