The world’s aviation industry is moving towards autonomous air mobility and sensing, where new developments in artificial intelligence, energy systems, aerodynamics, structures and materials, advanced manufacturing, and multidisciplinary design are enabling new air vehicle concepts and new ways of using aviation in the daily transport of information, people, and cargo. The Center for Autonomous Air Mobility and Sensing (CAAMS) will produce new fundamental engineering knowledge, will develop new technologies, and will train a new workforce needed by pooling the technical know-how of America’s leading engineering research universities with innovative companies ranging from startups to long-established leaders in the aerospace industry.CAAMS research focuses on improving air vehicle performance, sustainability, safety systems, manufacturability, and reliability by integrating research in traditional aerospace fields such as control, aerodynamics, structures and materials, communication, and energy storage with new disciplines including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics. The contributions of the University of Colorado Boulder focus on certification, testing, and evaluation; targeted observation and forecasting; and human-machine interaction and trust. The University of Colorado Boulder draws on extensive experience deploying teams of autonomous systems in the field and will be supported by the existing Integrated Remote and In Situ Sensing (IRISS) team.Autonomous air mobility and sensing includes a broad range of vehicle concepts, integrated subsystems, supporting infrastructure, traffic management tools, and applications that exploit increasingly autonomous capabilities in aviation. These autonomous systems have the potential to improve safety and reliability, reduce costs, and enable new missions of national and global importance. The global market for autonomous aircraft is expected to reach $1.5 trillion by 2040, and CAAMS will be a key asset in enhancing US competitiveness. Center research will support dozens of students every year, giving them hands-on experience with advanced autonomous systems and direct understanding of industry perspectives and needs.Center outcomes will be broadly disseminated through archival publications, presentations at engineering and computer science conferences, and technical interchanges with aviation industry members. A single center-wide data repository will be established by the lead site with a password-protected web portal that can be accessed by all center industry members. Project data will be made available to center members annually and will be made available upon request to the public two years after the center fiscal year has ended.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

世界航空业正在朝着自主空气移动和敏感性迈进，在该行​​业中，人工智能，能源系统，空气动力学，结构和材料，先进的制造和多学科设计的新发展正在实现新的空中汽车概念以及在日常运输信息，人员和人类和货物中使用航空的新方法。自主空气流动性和感应中心（CAAMS）将产生新的基本工程知识，将开发新技术，并将通过汇集美国领先的工程研究大学的技术知识来培训所需的新劳动力，而创新的公司的技术知识范围从创业公司到启动，从启动到长期以来的领导者在航空航天行业中的发展范围。诸如控制，空气动力学，结构和材料，通信和能源存储等新学科等航空航天领域，包括人工智能，机器学习和机器人技术。科罗拉多大学博尔德大学的贡献专注于认证，测试和评估；有针对性的观察和预测；以及人机互动和信任。科罗拉多大学博尔德大学借鉴了在现场部署自主系统的丰富经验，并将得到现有的远程集成和原位感应（IRISS）团队的支持。自主空气移动性和敏感性包括多种汽车概念，包括广泛的综合子系统，集成子系统，支持基础结构，交通管理工具和应用程序，并越来越多地进行自动启动，并具有自动启动的功能。这些自治系统有可能提高安全性和可靠性，降低成本并实现新的国家和全球重要性。预计到2040年，全球自动驾驶飞机市场将达到1.5万亿美元，CAAMS将成为增强美国竞争力的关键资产。中心研究每年都会支持数十名学生，为他们提供先进的自主系统的动手经验，并直接了解行业观点和需求。中心的成果将通过档案出版物，工程和计算机科学会议的演示以及与航空行业成员的技术交互来广泛传播。 Lead网站将使用一个受密码保护的Web门户网站建立一个中央范围的数据存储库，所有中心行业成员都可以访问。项目数据将每年向中心成员提供，并在中心财政年度结束两年后，应要求向公众提供。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估审查标准来评估，被认为是珍贵的支持。
