Description

Overcoming regulatory, technical, safety and community barriers associated with a small team of operators managing multiple vehicles, or “m:N operations” (where m is much less than N), requires collaboration between engineers, researchers, technologists, regulators and safety, human factors, and testing experts. This panel will provide an update on the work the NASA m:N Working Group has recently accomplished and feature a robust discussion on the barriers to achieving multi-vehicle control at commercial scale and possible solutions for the future.
