Abstract

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) concept envisions an innovative air transportation system that leverages new aircraft to expand the range of aviation services. As a building block to AAM, the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) concept envisions highly automated vehicles offering a safe transportation alternative in densely populated, congested metropolitan areas. To accomplish its goal of providing safe autonomous air mobility services in urban areas, the UAM concept will need to ensure a resilient operational environment in which UAM operating and supporting infrastructure systems are fully integrated with existing air transportation systems and enable the secure exchange of data required for UAM operations. This endeavor requires an evaluation of UAM’s Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) and cybersecurity requirements to identify operational and cybersecurity barriers that affect the interoperability of UAM operations within the National Airspace System (NAS) ecosystem.
