Integrating New Aircraft Into Existing Airspace With Automation
SkyGrid has outlined its approach to integrating Advanced Air Mobility operations into the existing national airspace. The company proposes automating routine tasks and using a common operating picture to manage the increasing volume and variety of AAM operations. SkyGrid’s platform provides ground-based data services and ATM automation, and the company is working with the FAA and industry partners to test its concepts. According to AviNews, the proposal frames AAM integration as an add-on layer for legacy air traffic systems rather than a replacement.
