September 23, 2021
Engineers from the NASA North Texas (NTX) Research Station and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) National Campaign (NC) project leadership attended a kickoff meeting for a cohort of academic and industry groups participating in the NC. Led by the University of North Texas (UNT), the cohort includes Bell Helicopter, the Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) team, ResilienX, Hermes Autonomous Air Mobility Solutions, OneSky, AURA Network Systems, Frequentis, Unmanned Experts (UMEX), Lone Star, and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) as partners. The first meeting, held on September 16 at the Bell Helicopter facilities, introduced the team and initiated discussion on team member needs and roles. A meeting the following day at the UNT engineering facilities featured discussion about possible routes in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex for NC scenario flight demonstrations. As with other teams participating in the NC, preparation and execution of the flight scenarios will take place over the course of the next two years. NTX engineers currently support the National Campaign with support in Airspace Operations Management and data collection.
