Crown Consulting Inc. has been selected to assist with an LMI-led team tasked by NASA to conduct an automated air cargo market survey under the Data Analysis and Technical Support Services contract.

The eight-month study will survey and model the interdependencies and economics of a range of emerging automated/autonomous air cargo vehicles, operators and use cases for transport of materials from 50-plus pounds to continental and oceanic transport.

Crown will serve as a subject mater expert, gather data from industry and apply its experience in certifying vehicles and operators and with existing and emerging regulation of small unmanned aircraft systems cargo operations to inform the survey.
