The work was done in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). This algorithm solves the challenging combined path planning + energy mode switching control under battery constraints and noise restrictions, enabling the hybrid vehicle to run in electric mode in certain regions to comply with noise restrictions. Noise abatement is a critical part of low altitudes airspace operations, and this work brings the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Traffic Management (UTM) community one step closer to solving the challenge associated with noise. The work delivers a scalable algorithm with performance guarantees on the quality of the solution.

The meeting was the official start of programmatic and technical collaboration with ODOT as part of the Annex 3 Agreement that was signed on June 15, 2022. The PAAV team presented an overview of the Sub-Project including the research strategy, schedule, and technical focus areas. ODOT presented an overview of several ongoing activities supporting unmanned aircraft operations, including their Air Traffic Operations Center, their collaboration with the FAA on remote digital towers, and their SkyVision collaboration with the AFRL for low-altitude flight tracking and ground-based detect-and-avoid systems. ODOT also discussed the National AAM Industry Forum that they are hosting, and which is being sponsored by JobsOhio, on August 22–23, 2022. A planning meeting with ODOT, ATM-X, and PAAV is currently being scheduled. The PAAV Technical Co-Lead will attend the event in person.
