ASTM International is hosting its 7th Annual Autonomy in Aviation Symposium, organized by ASTM’s autonomy design and operations in aviation administrative committee (AC377).
The symposium will be held Oct. 5-6, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, FL in conjunction with committees F37 and F44 at October Committee Week.
ASTM AC377 promotes collaboration among aviation autonomy stakeholders to improve safety and efficiency in aviation. This year’s focus, Human vs. Automation Centric Future: Paradigm or Paradox, will take an in-depth look at how we can make the most of both technology and human capabilities.
Attendees will:
“There is an ever-growing desire for increasing automation in aviation systems to enhance safety, address safety concerns, and enable new and novel operational capabilities,” said Wes Ryan, Northrop Grumman fellow in airworthiness and chair of AC377. “Our theme builds on previous years where we have focused on “Autonomy at the Systems Level”, and “Operationalizing Autonomy”. In 2026, we’ll take an honest assessment of the limits of current technology, design best practice and human performance.”
Registration will open in early summer. Sponsorship opportunities are available. For more information, please contact bizdev@astm.org.
