Unmanned Experts teams with Solentus to test FAA UAS integration concepts in simulation trials

Unmanned Experts LLC (UMEX) has joined Solentus to perform support services required for the operation of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) research within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Advanced Concepts & Technology Development.

UMEX will provide subject matter expertise and qualified UAS pilots (Predator A or Predator B pilots) with experience in air traffic control phraseology, typical aircraft behaviors, and mission operations. A series of simulations will be conducted at the NextGen Integration and Evaluation Capability (NIEC) laboratory at the Technical Center requiring UAS pilots to work as the Pilot in Command (PIC) in mission flights and complete test scenarios and provide responses to the scenarios (e.g., acceptability of control latency, level of workload, and timeliness of collision avoidance maneuver).

This initial phase of work under this agreement is expected to be complete in April 2015.
