CSEL in collaboration with Mosaic ATM is working on building a Contingency Planning Toolkit for Advanced Air Mobility. CSEL’s role in the project is to develop and apply novel modeling and simulation (using Work Models that Compute) techniques for evaluating candidate architectures and identify requirements for distributed AAM contingency planning. Through fast-time simulation, we can identify what is necessary to (1) create feasible concepts of operations that create the desired outcomes, (2) conduct comparisons between different system architectures and strategies for responding to contingencies, and (3) identify where further resources need to be invested to improve the robustness of envisioned concepts. We will investigate the modeling and simulation results to look at factors like cognitive work, coordination, synchronization, and information exchange. We will also use other CSE (Cognitive Systems Engineering) models and methods to evaluate envisioned ConOps using the above factors.
