... -- National Airspace System Evolution. The capabilities of an IASMS will need to increase in sophistication as the NAS continues to evolve and improve, while also accommodating changes in conventional air traffic and new entrants, particularly with regard to the following: o Growth in air traffic, o Increased uncertainty from new entrants (e.g., UAS, on-demand mobility aircraft, and commercial space launch and reentry operations)

... should execute a national research agenda focused on high-priority research projects in each of four areas, as follows: • IASMS Concept of Operations and Risk Prioritization -- IASMS Concept of Operations and National Airspace System Evolution. Develop a detailed concept of operations for an IASMS using a process that considers multiple possible system architectures, evaluates key trade-offs, and identifies system requirements.

... of the generic CONOPS -- Users • Ability to collect required data • Architecture • Costs and benefits • Effectiveness • Growth in air traffic • Human performance limitations and human-machine roles • NAS evolution • System authority vis-à-vis human performance capabilities and limitations • Technical capabilities • Uncertainties associated with each functional element of the generic CONOPS • Verification, validation, and certification 1  System scope is listed first because it is the most important of the factors in the list. The other factors are listed alphabetically.

... However, for many of the research projects substantial advances could be achieved using currently available resources, especially if those resources are aligned in accordance with the recommended high-priority research projects and if program planning and execution take maximum advantage of the synergies that exist among some of the research projects. 2  National Research Council, 2014, Autonomy Research for Civil Aviation: Toward a New Era of Flight, The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., and National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2016, Commercial Aircraft Propulsion and Energy ­ ystems Research: Reducing Global Carbon Emissions, The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C.
