Smart Mobility@Ames was created to serve as the Ames Research Center’s Aeronautics Research Directorate’s executive agent for enabling aeronautics research activities that involve live flight of vehicles, including non-NASA partners. The goal is to establish a state-of-the-art integrated flight and simulation environment enabling research in autonomy, sUAS, UAM, and vertiplex operations in a representative urban setting.
