NASA has chosen geolocation leader NextNav’s Metropolitan Beacon System (MBS) to help the space agency refine its Urban Air Mobility (UAM) platform, a transportation management system with applications ranging from drone deliveries to passenger drones.
According to a press release, NextNav’s MBS appeal stems from its ability to facilitate drone missions where GPS signals aren’t reliable enough to locate a UAV’s horizontal and vertical location. This, of course, is vital for successful passenger drone or drone delivery operations to function in such environments (namely, in cities).
Nasa intends to use NextNav’s MBS as part of the space agency’s CERTAIN (City Environment for Range Testing of Autonomous Integrated Navigation) facilities at the Langley Research Center in Virginia.
