Laying the cornerstone of Advanced Air Mobility infrastructure: A Low-Altitude Airspace Surveillance System Optimized for Reliability, Robustness, Resilience, and Cost
This proposed research project aims to: (1) analyze and assess the reliability, robustness, and resilience of surveillance systems for detecting and tracking Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) traffic in the low-altitude national airspace system (NAS); then, building on research findings, (2) develop a sensor network design software tool to design a surveillance sensor network for AAM optimized for reliability, robustness, resilience, and cost, across major cities of the state of Ohio; and, lastly, (3) formulate a safety protocol for AAM traffic managers and operators to follow during AAM surveillance outages or when the performance of the AAM surveillance system is impaired due to failure events.
