Abstract

The NASA UAS Airspace Operations Challenge (AOC) was an interdisciplinary design competition that focused on the development of technologies needed to integrate UAS into the National Airspace System (NAS). Success in the challenge depended on the ability to find, track, and avoid both cooperative and non-cooperative aircraft. Systems such as decision based autopilots, GPS denied navigation, and avoidance tracking are needed to successfully operate. The UAS AOC was set to take place in the Spring of 2015, but was canceled. Technology development for UAS integration into the NAS is still an active area of research and Oklahoma State has continued to work primarily with GPS denied and custom autopilot capability based around the mission requirements originally defined by the NASA UAS AOC.
