Advanced Air Mobility is a concept of air transportation that moves people and cargo between places not conveniently served by surface transportation or underserved by aviation. Driven by the economic and societal promise of AAM, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) commissioned this Economic Impact Analysis for Advanced Autonomous Aircraft Technologies in Ohio. This report forecasts the industrial and economic benefits of AAM systems and services through the year 2045. 17. Keywords 18. Distribution Statement No restrictions.

  • Out of the Loop: the Human-Free Future of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
    AN EMERGING THREATS ESSAY Out of the Loop The Human-free Future of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles by Shane Harris Koret-Taube Task Force on National Security and Law www.emergingthreatsessays.com In the game of life and evolution there are three players at the table: human beings, nature, and machines. I am firmly on the side of nature. But nature, I suspect, is on the side of the machines. Darwin Among the Machines1 —George Dyson in national security and law If you want to understand how human beings stack up next to machines in the conduct of modern warfare, consider this: In World War II, it took a fleet of 1,000 B-17 bombers—flown, navigated, and manned by a crew of 10,000 men—to destroy one Axis ground target. American bombs were so imprecise that, on average, only one in five fell within 1,000 feet of where they were on task force aimed. Aerial bombing was a clumsy affair, utterly dependent on the extraordinary labor of human beings. Just one generation later, that was no longer true. In the Vietnam War, it took thirty F-4 fighter-bombers, each flown and navigated by only two men, to destroy a target. That was a 99.4 percent reduction in manpower. The precision of attack was also greatly enhanced by the first widespread use of laser-guided munitions. After Vietnam, humans’ connection to air war became more attenuated, and less relevant. In the Gulf War, one pilot flying one plane could hit two targets. The effectiveness of the human-machine pairing was breathtaking.
