Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) for cargo operations in the national airspace system will impact safety due to, among other factors, the latency and reliability of command & control, and of communication. This paper investigates the safety impact with increasing mix of RPA amidst manned traffic in a generic arrival pattern with three merging flows. Latency was modelled as the response time between air traffic control's determination of a resolution and the RPAs' initiation of the maneuver. Reliability was modelled as a message drop probability. The experiment was repeated with two different aircraft types having different performance characteristics as representatives of RPA for conducting automated cargo operations. Overall response time above thirty seconds and message drop probability over twenty percent caused losses of separation. Specific results depended on the RPA aircraft type. The detailed impacts of latency and reliability with increasing mix of RPA traffic are provided. Applications of the approach for further studies at increasing levels of automation are also discussed.
