NASA Teams With Reliable Robotics On Large UAS Airspace Integration
Partnership builds on previous work on detect and avoid technology
Reliable Robotics flight testing
Reliable Robotics is developing autonomous flight technology in partnership with NASA.

NASA has launched a partnership with autonomous flight specialist Reliable Robotics to support the integration of large uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) into the U.S. National Airspace System. The new collaboration announced on August 5 under the Space Act Agreement will focus on scaling up UAS applications for cargo and air transportation operations.

California-based Reliable Robotics has been tasked with conducting simulations for autonomous aircraft operations in three phases. These cover human-in-the-loop detect and avoid, lost command and control link, and interactions as aircraft enter and depart airports.
