The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center has awarded a $123,374 firm fixed-price Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to XL Scientific LLC, doing business as Verus Research, to develop the Verification and Re-Planning for Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Safety (VEREUS) tool.
VEREUS aims to automate the process of verifying that proposed UAS trajectories meet all risk and path constraints imposed, and to mitigate risks as necessary. The tool will leverage formal methods to assess risk to people on the ground, verify trajectory constraint satisfaction, and enable re-planning subject to risk constraints. This capability is intended to support NASA's UAS Traffic Management (UTM) efforts by enabling safe, requirement-satisfying UAS trajectories in an automated fashion as the use of UAS increases within the National Airspace System.
