Considerations for Airspace Integration Enabling Early Multi-Aircraft (m:N) Operations

The white paper “Considerations for Airspace Integration Enabling Early Multi-Aircraft (m:N) Operations” explores potential mechanisms for integrating multi-aircraft (m:N) operations into non-segregated airspace. These operations involve a single or small team of remote pilots controlling multiple uncrewed aircraft simultaneously. The paper presents ideas discussed by a NASA-convened working group of subject matter experts, focusing on overcoming barriers to routine m:N operations, particularly the need for remote pilots to interact with human-centric air traffic control (ATC) systems via voice communications.
