Central Texas Advanced Air Mobility and Innovation Campus

We have partnered with a visionary developer building an airport from the ground up to support Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and advancing Urban Air Mobility (UAM) throughout the Austin region, Texas and the nation. This includes a platform for as many of the aerospace developers working on developing, evolving and operating AAM and UAM aircraft. This platform includes the integrated parts of solutions required to advance intelligent and autonomous management, operations within cities, foundational infrastructures, equipment, manufacturing, all modes of transportation, defense, security and many other areas.

This development will support AAM companies looking to increase their OODA loop within a 24/7 R&D facility, right here in Texas. There are over 200 companies competing for the successful development of VTOL and eVTOL aircraft that will move transportation from surface modes to the air with these new aircraft – both piloted and autonomously operated.

Texas, the State of the Future, has released the Final AAM Report: https://buff.ly/3Y72cYK

Great leadership and collaboration. Thanks, Ahsan Choudhuri, Jeff Borowiec, Ph.D., Zeke Reyna, Dan Harmon, Jason Day, and Darran Anderson. Time for our nation to embrace Intelligent Infrastructure and enable 21st-century solutions.

This industry will expand quickly when we demonstrate to parties outside of the industry clear commercial wins. I.e. Infrastructure Investors, Real estate developers, Engineering firms, Vertiport companies, Property and title companies, Attorneys, Economic development groups, etc. This is what led to the expansive growth after the 1926 Air Commerce Act.

Texas has exceptional locations: Alliance Aviation Services, Texas A&M-RELLIS, Greenport Austin Innovation Campus, Port San Antonio, JJ Pickle, Texas Military Department, all military bases, etc.

LOCATION AND CAMPUS INNOVATIONS 

Anchored by its own international airport; a time-tested concept for 75 years o Environmentally sustainable corporate campus

  • Located in foreign trade zone

  • Key entitlements secured and breaking ground

  • State-of-the-art cyber- and physical-security measures available

  • “Clean and green” energy with 200 MW+ renewable energy and battery storage

  • Privately-controlled communications micro-grid offers triple redundancy

A unique attribute of the state-of-the-art GREENPORT International Airport will be its seamless union with a corporate campus that will be a global showcase for cutting- edge technologies. GREENPORT will feature a unique public-private partnership that will transform the region’s economic landscape. Projections are that GREENPORT will generate over 40,000 permanent jobs by 2033 and has the potential to be one of the most significant economic drivers in Central Texas history.

GREENPORT International Technology Center, (GITC), will be a corporate campus primarily hosting data centers, corporate offices, and government agencies with high-security requirements. “Through-the-fence” access to the airport will be offered. A limited, privately-managed approval process will significantly shorten development timelines, lower development costs, mitigate risk, and protect confidentiality of building plans and systems.

ESTABLISHING NATIONAL STANDARDS

The Autonomy Institute is accelerating the “Path to Commerce” by embracing national standards for commercial operations. The Systems of Systems complexity of autonomy will require the integration of many devices and services. Standards are critical for the the United States adoption of the Intelligent Infrastructure that will enable Industry 4.0.

PLATFORMS TO ACCELERATE R&D

INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE is the foundation of ARPA-I

The Brains of Our Future Economy. Creating Intelligent and Responsive Cities and Communities. INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE addresses the key challenges of our lifetime. Providing advanced city services, resilient and carbon-free economies, closing the technology divide, enabling autonomous systems, and most important; securing data for people, cities, and governments. National sovereignty and global productivity will go to the nation that deploys the Intelligent Infrastructure enabling Industry 4.0. Time to stop bolting, strapping, and hanging 21st-century devices onto wood poles and deploy PINNs, the roads of the 21st century. Industry 4.0 requires far more than wireless networks. Broadband for all, Intelligent Transportation, Next Generation wireless, Enhanced GPS, Digital Twins, Edge Computing, Resilient Grids. “Investment in a 21st-century Intelligent Infrastructure is among the highest priorities for stimulating economic expansion, national security, and job growth.” Time to Build the Infrastructure for the next 100 years. The Autonomy Institute is working with infrastructure investors to develop $100 million Public Private Partnership programs to support the deployment of 10s of thousands of Public Infrastructure Network Nodes, also known as PINNs, across communities, private campuses, cities, and our highways. Intelligent Infrastructure will create resilient cities, end the Digital Divide, and support Industry 4.0. PINNs provide the foundations for 21st-century technology; Power, Placement, Processing, Pipeline.

NASA Data Reasoning Fabric (DRF)

Transportation shapes society, enabling social interactions and economic opportunities. Advanced Air Mobility offers the promise of on-demand air transportation for people and cargo that can dramatically increase the capacity of our transportation system reducing delays, reducing the impact on the environment and improving the quality of modern life. To keep these air vehicles operating safely in close quarters thousands, if not millions of decisions will need to be made in the vehicles, on the edge and in the cloud. Decision making by either humans or machines can only occur with current, accurate and secure data. Diverse and dynamic data on the status of travelers, cargo, weather, ground infrastructure, flight infrastructure and vehicles are needed wherever these decisions are made. Privacy, noise and safety constraints must also be available to achieve this. We must enable a shift to a web-like ecosystem to support Advanced Air Mobility – a data and reasoning fabric or DRF.
