The Systems Integration and Operationalization (SIO), demonstration activities is a partnership between NASA and industry partners with the goal of accelerating routine Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operations into the National Airspace System (NAS).
SIO will show robust UAS operations into the NAS by leveraging integrated DAA, C2, and state of the art vehicle technologies with a pathway toward certification to inform the FAA UAS integration policies and operational procedures. NASA is partnering with Bell, General Atomics-ASI, and PAE ISR to perform SIO demonstration activities in 2020. The industry partners will lead the development, integration, testing, and certification of their UAS. NASA will support by providing consultation.
