Optionally-Piloted Aircraft Evaluated in Airspace Management Test
ANRA Technologies lent its expertise to the FAA's Urban Air Mobility Airspace Management Demonstration (UAMD) program's recent live flights in California, drawing lessons that should pay dividends in future airspace management. During the tests, ANRA provided the "airspace management services" needed for Boeing subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences as they put their Centaur testbed through its paces. The Centaur is the latest in a long line of "optionally piloted aircraft", a Diamond DA42 set up for semi-autonomous flight.
