Pathfinding for Airspace with Autonomous Vehicles (PAAV) Tabletop 4 Report  (2023)

There is a desire from industry stakeholders to utilize uncrewed aircraft (UA) to address increasing air cargo operations and current pilot shortages. A primary goal of the Pathfinding for Airspace with Autonomous Vehicles (PAAV) subproject has been to outline a seamless and scalable progression to integrate these kinds of operations into the National Airspace System (NAS) with minimal disruptions to current-day operations. To aid the PAAV concept, the most recent of four tabletop workshops tasked researchers with gathering opinions from 13 subject matter experts (SMEs) to uncover issues that may pose barriers to integrating autonomous cargo operations into the NAS, specifically while in multi-vehicle control (m:N) pilot configurations.
