Ready?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A long time ago, when your grandpa was just a kid growing up in Minnesota, one of my favorite TV shows was \u201cThe Jetsons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This animated classic from the 1960s \u2013 which I will be sure to show you when you\u2019re a little older \u2013 imagined families who live in a world where the skies were filled with flying cars. A single push of a button automatically took them shopping, to work, or to visit friends or family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These same gravity-defying flying vehicles could take you to other cities at supersonic speeds. Larger vehicles could even be seen leaving the atmosphere for a journey to the Moon or a nearby planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of it looked safe, clean, fun, and futuristic \u2013 and the flying cars made these cool tuneful puffs of air sound when they flew. We all expected it to happen in our lifetimes. And now it looks like it really will in your lifetime \u2013 and maybe soon enough for mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it does, when you\u2019re able to call for an air taxi to take you to work or order a pizza delivered by drone, I hope you\u2019ll remember this story I\u2019m going to tell you now about the two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/topics\/aeronautics\/index.html\">NASA aeronautics<\/a> projects that helped make it all possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first act in the story, we need to go back about 10 years \u2013 just about the time your dad graduated from college. This is when a new breed of airplanes remotely flown by pilots on the ground began to make their mark in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Beginning: UAS in the NAS Project<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially these drones \u2013 as they were generally known then and now \u2013 were associated with the military. An Air Force pilot or Naval aviator could safely sit in a control room in the United States while flying a drone on a critical mission overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As more and more of these missions were flown and made public, civilian and commercial organizations looked on with interest. They thought hard about how these Unmanned Aircraft Systems, or UAS, could be used by them back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, at this point we\u2019re not talking about the smaller quadcopter drones that people were beginning to play with in their backyard. Or even the radio-controlled hobby airplanes your Great Uncle Bob is fond of building and flying at the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, these UAS aircraft \u2013 which some people also call Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or UAV\u2019s, so don\u2019t be confused by that \u2013 were large drones designed to fly at high altitudes for a long time. They had names such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/centers\/armstrong\/news\/FactSheets\/FS-097-DFRC.html\">Predator B<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/centers\/armstrong\/news\/FactSheets\/FS-098-DFRC.html\">Global Hawk<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/centers\/armstrong\/news\/FactSheets\/FS-097-DFRC.html\">Ikhana<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Global Hawk in flight\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg 4288w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg?resize=300,199 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg?resize=768,510 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg?resize=1024,680 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg?resize=1536,1020 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg?resize=2048,1360 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg?resize=400,266 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg?resize=600,399 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg?resize=900,598 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg?resize=1200,797 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ed13-0399-12.jpg?resize=2000,1328 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">NASA\u2019s jet-powered Global Hawk was used to support research associated with the Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the National Airspace System project.

First responders could get a bird\u2019s-eye view of a large fire. Utility companies could use them to more easily inspect isolated powerlines. Scientists could gather climate data from distant locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for both commercial and military users there was one major obstacle to overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone had to prove to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) it was safe to allow remotely piloted UAS access to the National Airspace System, or NAS, where commercial airliners routinely fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This idea was something new to aviation, a community known for moving cautiously before embracing change to protect its unrivaled record of safety.  There were a lot of questions about UAS operations that had to be answered first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was immediately clear that allowing UAS to fly in the NAS would require the FAA to adopt new rules that laid out exactly how all this should work. These rules would be based on new standards and operating procedures that had yet to be determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter NASA, where the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/aeroresearch\">\u201cA\u201d stands for Aeronautics<\/a>, the study of all things related to flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Encouraged by a bunch of different people and organizations, NASA in 2011 began the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/aeroresearch\/programs\/iasp\/uas\">UAS Integration in the NAS project<\/a> to lead the aviation community, relevant government agencies, and others in conducting the research needed to draft those standards and procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spoiler alert, Axel: The whole thing was a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My friend Mauricio Rivas managed this project, and this is what he told me about what they accomplished:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis really was a big deal. We have now contributed to setting standards and requirements of what UAS must meet to safely operate in the national airspace. That didn\u2019t exist a decade ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how that happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike most other research projects, NASA didn\u2019t need to invent or develop any new gadget. Industry would design and build the UAS aircraft and electronic systems. Then NASA would help demonstrate how that technology could safely fly in the NAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, NASA worked with the FAA to create a flight test environment that used real and simulated situations. That way industry could, through a series of real flight tests, prove that any new technologies or procedures would work as predicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of this series of flight tests provided information needed for writing new Minimum Operational Performance Standards, or MOPS, for the FAA to consider officially adopting \u2013 which was the reason for the UAS in the NAS project in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Axel, you\u2019ve had a peek at the end of this particular project, but there\u2019s still more to tell about how we got there \u2013 including how the UAS in the NAS project made aviation history by flying a\u2026 well, stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>To be continued on Monday, May 3\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>In <a href=\"\/aeroresearch\/a-story-for-axel-detect-and-avoid-command-and-control\">part two<\/a> of this three-part story told to his grandson, Axel, Grandpa Banke explains the two technical areas that were key to both projects and talks about the history-making event that capped off Phase One of the UAS in the NAS project.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-about-the-author nasa-gb-align-full width-full maxw-full padding-x-3 padding-y-6 hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-about-the-author\"><div class=\"grid-row grid-container maxw-widescreen padding-x-0 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-black padding-top-3\"><div class=\"margin-bottom-4\"><h3 class=\"heading-14\">About the Author<\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"grid-row grid-container padding-x-0 maxw-widescreen\"><div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-6 desktop:padding-right-9\"><div class=\"grid-row\"><div class=\"hds-author-thumbnail mobile:circle-6 mobile:maxw-6 circle-card maxw-card thumbnail margin-right-2 desktop:margin-right-5\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"10rem\" height=\"10rem\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"low\" class=\"avatar avatar-300 photo medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cropped-banke-press-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Jim Banke\"><\/div><div class=\"grid-col\"><div class=\"margin-bottom-2\"><h2 class=\"heading-29 line-height-sm\">Jim Banke<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"heading-12 p-md\">Managing Editor\/Senior Writer<\/div><div class=\"padding-y-2\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"desktop:grid-col-6 desktop:padding-right-9\"><p class=\"margin-top-0\">Jim Banke is a veteran aviation and aerospace communicator with more than 35 years of experience as a writer, producer, consultant, and project manager based at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
