Advanced Air Mobility Pathfinders Project (AAMP)
The Advanced Air Mobility Pathfinders (AAMP) Project accelerates advanced air mobility technologies for wildfire response and urban transportation through real-world demonstrations and strategic partnerships.
The AAMP studies emerging technologies, establishes frameworks for strategic aircraft deconfliction, and validates solutions in metropolitan areas to enable larger-scale urban air mobility.
The project enhances the capabilities of unmanned aircraft systems for wildfire mitigation and disaster response by transferring portable airspace management system technologies to enable routine, safe, and efficient operations beyond visual line of sight.
AAMP provides scalable technologies, integration standards and coordination tools that drive industry adoption and improve multi-agency collaboration for emergency response.
The project is dedicated to demonstrating and validating the safe and practical integration of advanced air mobility technologies. We focus on the development, evaluation and transfer of performance requirements for:
Portable Airspace Management System — Enable safe, scalable and continuous flight operations (24/7), particularly in challenging visual degraded environments.
Air Space Service Providers — Manage advanced medium density air mobility operations, in accordance with the national AAM strategy.
Our goal is to ensure that these systems are ready for real-world use in emergency operations as well as urban transportation. AAMP actively collaborates with government agencies, academia and industry stakeholders. These partnerships are essential to validate the safe and effective performance of these new technologies.
This in turn enables safe, convenient and resilient urban air mobility operations. AAMP bridges the gap between research and implementation, making Advanced Air Mobility a reliable solution for everyday transportation and rescue missions across the United States.
