Weather Information Systems at Heliports and Vertiports for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)

The need for advance air mobility (AAM) platforms to take off and land at locations distant from traditional weather information systems (WIS) has driven the requirement for a WIS design process to be developed and used to construct new vertiports and upgrade existing heliports that will be utilized for AAM. TruWeather Solutions Inc. (TruWeather) intends to architect a WIS design process that enables a tailored and performance-based approach to WIS capable of meeting the needs of the rapidly changing AAM community and conforming to ASTM F3673-23. TruWeather will engage with stakeholders, conduct literature reviews, develop the aforementioned WIS design process, and guide NASA and stakeholders towards ideal locations for actualization. TruWeather intends to use funding for compensation of manpower and subcontractors engaging in research and deliverables as well as travel necessary to conduct stakeholder engagement. The design plan proposed can be leveraged by government and non-government entities to develop policy, aid in infrastructure development, and guide OEMs towards identifying the proper solution for the vast variability in market uses of AAM.
