The Scope of the Committee shall be the development of standards related to the design, certification, production, installation, or maintenance of aircraft systems. The work of this Committee will be coordinated with other ASTM Committees and organizations having mutual interest.
aviation; autonomous;
The aviation community has shown significant interest in adopting increasingly autonomous systems for routine use in aviation. Increased automation moving toward autonomy has shown great promise to improve the safety of aviation and transform the industry. Some OEMs are moving towards Type Certification of highly automated aircraft that range from unified flight controls (aka simplified vehicle operations) to situations where more than one aircraft would be controlled by a single remote pilot. Consistent guidance on best practices for analyzing system requirements and presenting information to regulators leveraging the contextual framework for autonomous and automated system requirements introduced by ASTM AC377 would be of value to both proponents and regulators.
The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
