Description: The Innovation Laboratory, Inc., propose to develop a suite of technologies that can be used to expand the availability of the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vertiport. Our innovation, VertiSafe, is a collection of technologies, some traditional, and some unconventional, that when used in conjunction provides a clear view of the weather constraints and provides effective weather mitigation strategies to enable operations in near all-weather conditions. The ultimate goal is to have 24/7/365 all-weather UAM vertiport operations for as many of the vertiports in the National Airspace System (NAS) as possible.

Benefits: The proposed technologies can be used in NASA applications to enable safe, efficient, and flexible UAM operations for a variety of UAM air vehicles in a wide range of weather conditions across the NAS.

These technologies can help UAM vertiport operators strive for full 24/4/365 all-weather operations in the future, benefiting the vertiport operators as well as the Air Service Providers (ASPs) for UAM airlines.
