Network Enhanced UAS Range Operations

Network Enhanced UAS Range Operations
Key Features
NEURO is the brains of your UAS operations, tracking nearly every aspect of UAS flight
ops. NEURO is a next-generation software product created from the ground up to
support Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operations in the National Airspace System
(NAS). NEURO provides a browser-based interface for UAS aircrew, ground-based
safety observers, flight test engineers, managers, airfield operators, and other
external stakeholders without the need for any installed software or browser plugins.

Long Term Data Storage Retrieval and Analysis
NEURO accepts primary and secondary
radar data, ADS-B data and UAS
metadata to build an accurate 3D air
picture. All data that enters NEURO is
maintained and stored by NEURO
indefinitely. The NEURO database
enables on-the-fly data retrieval. It
contains a powerful timeline that allows the user to immediately advance or
retrograde the time or jump directly to a desired time for both forward and reverse
playback at normal or other speeds. The NEURO database also enables real-time
event alerting and large scale historical data analysis. For example, analyze the
utilization of your operating airspace over time by altitude segment, aircraft squawk
(e.g. 1200 vs. assigned), proximity to your UAVs, etc.
Real-Time Metadata Creation
NEURO creates new amplifying information for data it is receiving in real-time, i.e. as
data is being received. One example is track vertical speed, NEURO analyzes reported
track altitude over time to calculate vertical speed for the track. This provides a
vertical speed value for air tracks served, even when vertical speed is not available in
the track’s source data.

Range Operations Support
UAS Operators
NEURO’s real-time analysis of the 3D track picture
provides cuing and alerting of potential factor traffic,
enabling the aircrew to maneuver to a safe location and
maintain self-separation.
NEURO’s common operating picture allows for
instantaneous sharing of flight paths, targets, shapes
and other overlays with other operators and mission
stakeholders.
NEURO provides range operators the ability to monitor
range airspace, as well as track airspace utilization and
traffic density. NEURO integrates surveillance sensors
and UAS metadata feeds to provide a single, accurate,
common operating picture to all players.
Range managers can track the location of designated
ground observers operating NEURO via their mobile
device to ensure FAA COA compliance.
Small UAS and other R/C Aircraft
Safety Observer Support
Using a simple mobile device, small UAS operators,
including hobbyists and educational operators operating
in accordance with Advisory Circular AC 91-57, can
cooperate with local airfields by marking their location
and operating area for display on the NEURO common
operating picture. Information such as operator name
and contact info can be passed to all affected flight
operations in real-time without the use of a VHF radio.
NEURO constantly monitors UAS aircraft tracks as well
as radar and ADS-B tracks. NEURO alerts UAS aircrew
and other safety observers of pending factor traffic to
facilitate rapid visual acquisition and safe self-separation
by the UAS operators.
Third-Party Developers
NEURO was built from the ground up to be open and
accessible to third party developers. All system boundaries consist of a well-defined, published interface using
standard data formats such as JSON, XML, and KML and
standard communication protocols such as HTTP/REST
Local Area Airfield Coordination
Most UAS Certificates of Authorization mandate
alerting local airfields of UAS activity. NEURO’s webbased architecture allows local and regional airfield
personnel to see UAS test range schedules and activity.
NEURO can provide this information from planning and
scheduling to execution. In the event of a UAS
contingency, such as “Lost Link,” NEURO can
automatically announce the event to all pertinent
regional stakeholders.
