ANRA Technologies Selected for Four FAA Research Projects on Drone and AAM Airspace Integration
Why It MattersThe initiative signals continued federal investment in integrating drone and advanced air mobility traffic into the broader national airspace management framework.
ANRA Technologies has been selected by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to take part in four research projects aimed at integrating drones and advanced air mobility (AAM) operations into the National Airspace System.
The four projects address UTM-ATM integration, vertiport digital flight procedures, common altitude reference, and AI-based drone classification. The research targets technical and operational challenges tied to scaling complex drone and AAM operations, including coordination between uncrewed traffic management (UTM) and conventional air traffic management (ATM) systems, and the development of digital procedures for vertiport operations.
Collaborating organisations include Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Virginia Tech's Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership, and the University of Nevada, Reno.
