Unmanned Systems

Emerging technologies for autonomous flight

Today, the integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and urban air mobility (UAM) into the national airspace system is rapidly evolving. Booz Allen conducts research to inform policy and develops strong relationships with NASA and other key stakeholders, helping them navigate the future together.

Whether providing aerial images of an area or object via unmanned aircraft systems or a better way to travel across town in a flying car, urban air mobility will help us explore the world in new ways. 

Effective adoption of these innovations requires collaboration from all stakeholders. We help clients move forward in securely integrating these advances into today’s aviation system.  

Our experts help organizations understand these complex markets, as well as the benefits and impacts of emerging technologies. We also work to engage all stakeholders to enable scaled operations of these technologies. 

Our ability to fuse research with strategic and technical services enables us to offer a holistic perspective, accelerating progress throughout a project's lifecycle.

Our Capabilities

  • Concept of Operations (CONOPS) Development We conduct research and develop guidance and concept of operations for organizations like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP), to support the integration of emerging technologies into the national airspace.
  • Counter UAS (cUAS) For the 1.5+ million registered unmanned aircraft owners in the United States, we support government agencies in protecting the national airspace from UAS security risks. We're developing solutions to detect and respond to real-time threats.
  • Weather Impact Analysis By combining extensive experience in weather analytics and forecasting with advances like artificial intelligence and big data, we help clients plan for potential weather-related impacts on unmanned aerial systems.
  • Policy Review As new technologies, environmental concerns, and regulatory burdens emerge, Booz Allen helps clients understand the regulatory landscape to create forward-thinking, yet practical solutions.
  • Market Evaluation & Risk Assessment UAS and urban air mobility are part of a rapidly evolving industry, which is why accurate market evaluations are critical for making smart business decisions. We have experience helping clients identify risks, assess their impacts, and design mitigation strategies to keep people safe.
