In April 2023, Xwing submitted its Project Specific Certification Plan (PSCP) to start a certification program for its uncrewed aircraft system (UAS). A video covers the Conops of Xwing’s autonomous flight system.
The company’s article discusses deep learning and real-world air cargo operations in developing autonomous flight technology. An upcoming STC will enable sensor pods on commercial cargo aircraft to collect operational data and improve its technology stack.
Xwing autonomously transported mission-critical cargo during the Air Force’s AGILE FLAG 24-1 exercise. Missions covered 2,800 miles, 22 flight hours and eight public and military airports; the Air Force awarded Xwing MFR and PAO designations.
The COSTA Extensible Traffic Management (xTM) Research Project studies how large Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) will integrate with existing Air Traffic Control (ATC) and use Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM)-based information services during live flight trials.
