The FAA, along with input from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and industry partners, published an initial Concept of Operations (ConOps) for Upper Class E Traffic Management (ETM). To support the next iteration of the ConOps, NASA Ames Research Center has been investigating several technologies and operating principles that will help enable industry in the system development of a cooperative operating environment. Following in the footsteps of the established Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management (UTM) concept, ETM will utilize some of the basic system architecture and the community-based theories of cooperation and coordination. The main considerations for ETM as compared to UTM, are the diversity of the vehicle types with varying speed and maneuverability capabilities, the severe stratospheric atmosphere conditions, the potential longevity of the missions, and the assorted operating modes (e.g., transit, loitering, or hovering). TM oriented technologies and proposed operating principles are being tested and assessed in a collaborative evaluation of an initial ETM system in spring of 2024. These slides will be presented to a group of stratospheric operators, informing them on some past work and the next steps in the ETM research.
