The talk was conducted by the NC’s Airspace Testing and Integration (ATI) team. The purpose of the Tech Talk Series is to engage with the AAM community on the types of technologies currently being used and developed during flight test activities and simulations. This was the fourth talk in the series and focused on the use of the Grafana platform as a real-time data visualization tool and the features that have been developed and customized to support the data collection process in the NC. The first half of the talk described what Grafana is, how this framework has been used within the context of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Traffic Management (UTM) Subproject, and how its features have been integrated and enhanced during the National Campaign Sub-Project. The second half of the talk was centered on the implementation details of this environment as used in the NC Sub-Project, providing examples of the developed plug-ins, including Custom Panel Plug-ins, Scatter Plots Panel, two-dimensional (2D) Map Panel, three-dimensional (3D) Map Panel, Table Data Panel, Export/Data Control Panel, and Radargram Panel, and envisioning the development of additional features on future research. A recording of the tech talk will be posted here: https://www.nasa.gov/aamnationalcampaign/techtalks. The talk was well attended by multiple Subprojects under the AAM ecosystem, aeronautics researchers and others interested in this new technology, across all NASA Centers.

In FY21, LMI was tasked to 1) elicit knowledge and information to understand the current and future opportunities associated with operations at high altitudes, and the risks and barriers to realizing those opportunities; and 2) estimate the difference in the high-altitude operations market size with and without Upper Class E Traffic Management (ETM) for the United States. As part of their presentation, the LMI team demonstrated a model of the ETM market to estimate the market size associated with three use cases, Fixed and Mobile Internet Services, Smart Cities Internet of Things (IoT) Initiatives, and Forest Fire Detection. Key findings from the task are as follows. Market potential is large and growing for services that can be provided by the High Altitude Platform System (HAPS). In addition to use cases where HAPS can provide superior services to those provided by terrestrial or space-based systems, HAPS can provide supplemental infrastructure to meet the growing demands. Upper airspace is an underutilized resource, creating an opportunity to meet the American public’s needs while other domains may begin to encounter safety and environmental concerns related to expansion. Airspace demand is tied to geographic demand for services rather than evenly distributed. This is a common issue in all airspace classes and requires airspace management techniques to accommodate areas of congestion. ETM is necessary to accommodate operations at scale. The current approach relies on segregated volumes of airspace assigned to each vehicle to comply with existing separation standards. This does not allow an operator to deploy the number of vehicles necessary to serve a viable market, nor does it allow for competition between providers or services. ETM can enable services that are in the public interest that go beyond the commercial services HAPS can provide, including public safety, disaster response, wildfire detection and monitoring, and environmental protection. These findings and the associated ETM market model will be used to guide NASA’s ETM research and development, and for engagement with the stakeholder community including the FAA and other government agencies.
