This presentation provides an overview of an upcoming human-in-the-loop simulation planned by the Pathfinding for Airspace with Autonomous Vehicles (PAAV) subproject, as part of the Air Traffic Management eXploration project. The study will investigate Detect and Avoid (DAA) concepts in and around the DAA terminal area (DTA). The DTA has received little investigation in real-time, pilot-in-the-loop simulation. This study proposes to use current remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) pilots to investigate the effectiveness of current DTA requirements using the FAA's Airborne Collision Avoidance System X for Rotorcraft (ACAS Xr) as the DAA system under test. The findings of this stufy will be used to inform DTA and ACAS Xr standards development. This presentation will be provided to RTCA Special Committee 228 as an overview and as an opportunity to collect feedback from the larger RPAS/DAA community on the study design and key scenarios and metrics. The presentation provides a brief overview of open areas of research with ACAS Xr, the experimental design, the simulation environment and the simulation schedule.
