Discover AIR|SpacerUAM
AIRSpacerUAM is an onboard, autonomous separation management system for Air Taxies or Drones that enables automatic detection, safe separation and sympathetic routing with any similarly-equipped air taxi without air traffic control.*
-
Leverages existing GPS and onboard sensors, monitors potential incursions, and vectors to optimal safety without ATC intervention.
​
-
Equipped air taxies automatically vector away from each other, and also remain safely distant from surrounding aircraft.
​
-
Provides 360-degree separation management
​
-
Integrates with the Air Taxi fight management systems
*This is not episodic Detection and Avoidance (DAA), but rather continuous safe spacing maintenance technology.
“There is an evolving consensus that for on-demand mobility to grow there must be a shift from prescriptive to performance-based guidelines.”

AIRSpacerUAM is an UAM onboard technology that when used by all vehicles, delivers safe UAM separation without formal air traffic control.
Autonomous UAM separation
Autonomously direct air taxis to safe separation by establishing a spherical perimeter, monitoring for penetration, and moving each air taxi to the centroid of their penetrated space
Total separation control
Airspace control is active in all three dimensions using GPS, Radar, Lidar, and other sensor technologies

AIRSpacerUAM then computes the position of the centroid of the penetrated airspace and generates a vector (direction and speed) toward it, away from the penetrating aircraft, and also safely distant from any other vehicles on the virtual periphery.

When an air taxi spherical perimeter becomes “deformed” by another vehicle approaching too closely, AIRSpacerUAM dynamically recomputes the dimensions of the deformed sphere incorporating the presence of the penetrating air taxi.

AIRSpacerUAM establishes a sensor-defined spherical perimeter around the safe periphery of the reference air taxi.
