NASA’s Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Traffic Management Beyond Visual Line of Sight (UTM BVLOS) Subproject works to enable the safe use of drones in our everyday lives. This project supports operations in a low- altitude airspace, including drone package delivery and public safety operations. As the Federal Aviation Administration works to authorize these types of flights, NASA’s UTM BVLOS team is working with industry to ensure these operations can be routine, safe, and efficient.
