VOLPE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS CENTER (VOLPE CENTER)

Office of Air Traffic Systems and Operations/Aviation Systems Engineering Division, V-342

Technical Support MassDOT Aeronautics Division’s Commonwealth Unmanned Aerial System

Integration Program

Statement of Work

USDOT/Volpe Center is currently tasked to support Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to promote and develop state-wide Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), Counter UAS (CUAS), Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), Airspace Situational Awareness (ASA), and Training, Test, and Evaluation (TTE) capabilities as part of MassDOT’s Commonwealth UAS Integration Program (CUIP).

Volpe is required to support the MassDOT mission of developing a plan to foster the development of a commercial UAS and AAM ecosystem within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the region, and to ensure a reliable state transportation infrastructure that is safe from evolving UAS threats.

Volpe is asked to support MassDOT in defining options and collaboration opportunities to address both capability and need by leveraging pathways, partnerships, policies, and cost-effective solutions. The effort will involve supporting future federal and/or commercial initiatives to engage Massachusetts in a pilot program to bring together federal, state, local, and commercial partners to develop public and commercial capabilities and to use the lessons learned as a blueprint to leverage future Commonwealth efforts.

The Volpe Center has been requested by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Aeronautics Division to expand and update the strategic roadmap of the of the MassDOT CUIP program previously developed and to document the status of current goals, objectives, and standard working processes. In order to achieve this, Volpe requires specialized support in the areas of drone program operations, Massachusetts highway infrastructure and administration, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Administration (MBTA) infrastructure and administration, and Commonwealth strategic planning and financial management models.

The Volpe Center requires a contractor that has the existing domain knowledge as well as specialized conceptual expertise and awareness of the MassDOT CUIP to allow for support of and contribution to the end products. The contractor will have the capability to engineer the documentation that defines current state and future state of the MassDOT CUIP.

The contractor will provide the Volpe Center knowledge and expertise to support the following:

• Develop methodologies to deploy remote sensors and/or sensor suites to provide overall airspace situational awareness (ASA) for both cooperative and non-cooperative aircraft.

o For example, working with State and Local Transit authorities on potential technology implementation efforts and/or infrastructure shared access rights.

• Map updated and evolving UAS capabilities to the MassDOT CUIP framework and identify ongoing and evolving gaps, barriers and opportunities across the MassDOT CUIP initiatives.

• Support the implementation of the previously developed conceptual framework organizing MassDOT CUIP initiatives that promote alignment of team member efforts, including the Department of Defense (DoD), to CUAS, BVLOS, AAM and ASA

The contractor will assist the Volpe Center to produce the following deliverables to capture the Volpe Center’s analysis and findings on the mapping and definition tasks shown above.
