Name
Session 14 Panel | Low-Altitude Operations, Shared Airspace: Integrating AAM and UAS Safely
Date & Time
Thursday, November 12, 2026, 11:15 AM - 12:00 PM
Description
This panel will examine how advanced air mobility (AAM) and uncrewed aircraft systems can be integrated safely into increasingly busy low-altitude airspace. The discussion will focus on what these operations need from the existing system, what responsibilities new entrants must carry, and what infrastructure, procedures, data exchange, separation concepts, and coordination mechanisms are required as low-altitude operations move toward routine use.
Moderator: Dr. Wendy Okolo, Research Engineer in Intelligent Systems Division, U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
