Autonomous Industry Benefits From NASA Developments
NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia has been hard at work, testing out the viability of multiple BVLOS drones flying routes sans a human operator. “Flying the vehicles beyond visual line of sight, where neither the vehicle nor the airspace is monitored using direct human observation, demonstrates years of research into automation and safety systems, and required specific approval from the Federal Aviation Administration and NASA to complete,” said Lou Glaab, branch head for the aeronautics systems engineering branch at NASA Langley.
