With the emerging use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for applications such as transportation and logistics, there is a need for the capability for manned and unmanned aircraft to safely integrate into the National Asirspace System (NAS). As the NAS becomes progressively more populated with UAS, there is an increasing need to mitigate collisions between aircraft. The Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) campaign expresses the need for both strategic deconfliction and tactical deconfliction collision avoidance methods, of which this paper focuses on the latter. The proposed solution is an airborne Roundabout modeled after the Roundabout intersection for ground vehicles. UAS within the Roundabout use Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications to enforce a subroutine system, allowing them to autonomously mitigate collisions in structured airspace.
