ResilienX Publishes White Paper Highlighting Results from FAA R&D Project to Advance BVLOS Operations

Syracuse, NY – January 13, 2025 – ResilienX, the trusted leader in safety assurance solutions for autonomous ecosystems, announces the release of a new white paper detailing the findings and outcomes of its yearlong project with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This actionable research addresses critical challenges in scaling Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, offering practical solutions to advance the safe integration of uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and advanced air mobility (AAM).

Key Insights from the White Paper:

• Operational Safety: ResilienX introduced In-Time Aviation Safety Management Systems (IASMS) as a solution to monitor, assess, and mitigate failure modes in real-time, ensuring reliability in BVLOS operations.
• Interoperability in Federated UTM Ecosystems: The research highlights the challenges of data exchange and synchronization between UAS Service Suppliers (USS) and Supplemental Data Service Providers (SDSP), proposing enhanced interoperability standards.
• Cybersecurity Innovations: The study identifies key vulnerabilities in UTM and AAM systems, emphasizing the importance of robust cybersecurity measures to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.
• Regulatory Pathways: Recommendations are provided to address current gaps in BVLOS standards, promoting scalable and compliant operations.

The project’s success was demonstrated through ten comprehensive test cases, including live flight scenarios, which validated the effectiveness of IASMS in mitigating risks and ensuring safety within complex UTM ecosystems. These findings underscore the transformative potential of IASMS in the aviation industry.

The white paper, titled "Key Challenges and Solutions for Scaling BVLOS Operations", is now available for review. It offers detailed insights into the project’s methodologies, key performance indicators (KPIs), and actionable recommendations for stakeholders in the UAS and AAM sectors.

“Our goal with sharing this whitepaper with industry is to provide something truly actionable. To Scaling BVLOS operations require moving beyond conceptual frameworks and CONOPs to focus on tangible deployment strategies. The bridge that has frequently been missing is the identification of concrete requirements. In this white paper, we’ve detailed the KPIs, which represent the requirements we generated and tested against, and we believe should be foundational in all scaled BVLOS ecosystems. We’re excited to share these with industry and drive meaningful progress toward real-world deployment,” said Andrew Carter, CEO of ResilienX. "We invite industry professionals, policymakers, and researchers to review the findings and collaborate with us to shape the future of autonomous aviation."
