1 Next Steps Tim Cox NASA DFRC July 6 & 7, 2005 Herndon, VA

2 Workshop Milestones Schedule 7/13/05: Data from templates compiled into workshop summary 7/15/05: Summary posted on web-site 8/5/05: DHS future missions incorporated into assessment - Mission descriptions summarized in assessment - Capability analysis completed, assessment updated

3 Civil UAV Capabilities Assessment Task: Develop a Civil UAV Capability Assessment (2015 Time Frame) –Customers: Sub-Orbital Science Program, Vehicle Systems Program –Complement DOD roadmap –Homeland Security, Commercial, Land and Coastal Regions Management, Earth Science focus areas Objectives: –Influence the management of the UAV technology portfolio based on user defined future needs and missions –Broad civil arena assessment vetted with participating agencies: NASA, NOAA, DOE, U. S. Forest Service, etc. Initial draft version is available via web-site: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/research/civuav/index.html http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/research/civuav/index.html Information sources for initial version: 35 missions –primarily Earth science missions (SSMF, GSFC Earth Science Missions, NASA/DOE/NOAA workshops and UAV Initiative Advocacy) –21 basic technologies and capabilities identified to support missions

4 Initial UAV Capability and Technology Needs Deploy / Retrieve Vertical Profiling Access to The NAS Contingency Management Over-the-Horizon Communication Outside Cmd. And Control Long Range and Endurance High Altitude Formation Flight Multi-Ship Operation Precision State Data Quick Deployment Terrain Avoidance Precision Trajectories Remote Bases UAV Missions Collision Avoidance Autonomous Mission Mgmt. All Weather High Availability Reliable Flight Systems Intell. Vehicle System Mngmt - Possible Development Gap Frequency of Occurrence: High Medium Low

5 Assessment Schedule Version 1 to begin securing interagency commitment Updates annually after version 1 release: - Commercial sector missions - Increasing depth in technical gap analysis Integrate inter-agency program dependencies into strategic roadmap

6 Upcoming Events Land Management and Coastal Zone Dynamics Workshop –Precision Agriculture, Forest Service, Coastal Regions, etc –July 26 th & 27 th –Monterey, CA Capabilities Assessment web-site: –http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/research/civuav/index.htmlhttp://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/research/civuav/index.html –Link to the data from this workshop
