Advanced Air Mobility

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is a rapidly emerging industry poised to revolutionize the future of air travel by enabling safe, scalable, and efficient air transport primarily through the use of automated and electrified aircraft. AAM refers to the integration of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, drones, and other advanced aerial vehicles into existing civilian airspace, creating new opportunities for urban air mobility, cargo delivery, emergency response, and more. 

New traffic management capabilities, such as Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Traffic Management (UTM) and vertiport automation, are critical to enable AAM operations at scale. AAM will reduce congestion, lower emissions, and transform urban mobility by making air travel more accessible, cost-effective, and sustainable. 

New Entrant Integration

Building a robust ecosystem for all airspace users, informed by lessons learned from providing Leidos Flight Service to general aviation pilots

  • 3rd Party Vendor Integration: Providing a base set of capabilities and enabling third party integration will guarantee a standard level of system performance and enable innovations to increase usage.
  • Flexible Service Delivery: Supporting a variety of delivery methods will ensure all operators can receive services efficiently and effectively.
  • Continuous Service Improvement: Engaging frequently with service providers will support timely deployment of new capability to support evolving operations.
