The Challenge

Routine BVLOS requires more than knowing where the UAS intends to fly.

Operators and regulators need a clearer picture of the surrounding environment: existing UAS activity, crewed-aircraft traffic, aerodromes, controlled airspace, authorization limits, population exposure, and the likelihood of aircraft–UAS encounters.

FAA ASSURE A83 addresses this broader gap by developing empirical insight into UAS traffic behavior, regulatory compliance, forecasting, and collision risk across the NAS.

My Work

My work spans BVLOS risk assessment, airspace analytics, geospatial decision support, and FAA ASSURE research, including analysis involving:

• Remote ID

• ADS-B

• UAS traffic characteristics

• aerodrome proximity

• LAANC / UAS Facility Map context

• operational and regulatory risk

• GIS-based analysis

• air and ground risk considerations

• traffic-density characterization

• aircraft–UAS encounter analysis

• data fusion and decision-support concepts

The public program integrates Remote ID with supporting datasets including air traffic, registrations, airspace metrics, GIS information, weather, LAANC, UASFM, and other aviation datasets.

The Direction

A major focus is moving beyond static risk assessment toward risk-informed operational awareness.

Publicly described next-stage work includes fusion of Remote ID and ADS-B telemetry to identify potential encounters, followed by higher-fidelity analysis of trajectory geometry, separation, and encounter evolution.

What It Means

The objective is not simply to visualize more aviation data.

It is to turn fragmented information into a better answer to:

What is actually operating around this UAS, what risk does it create, and what should that mean for the operation?
