About the AAM IWG
In October 2022, President Biden signed into law the Advanced Air Mobility Coordination and Leadership Act (Public Law No: 117-203) and directed the Secretary of Transportation to establish the AAM IWG. Tasked with fostering innovation, ensuring safety, and promoting a cohesive regulatory framework, the AAM IWG is mandated to facilitate a unified, cross-agency effort to shape the future of aerial transportation in the United States.
Mission
The mission of the AAM IWG is to foster leadership and interagency collaboration in the adoption and deployment of AAM, a transportation system that will move people and property by air using highly automated aircraft with advanced technologies in controlled and uncontrolled airspace within the U.S.
Additionally, the AAM IWG was established to plan and coordinate efforts related to safety, operations, infrastructure, physical security and cybersecurity, and Federal investment necessary for maturation of the national AAM ecosystem, particularly passenger carrying aircraft.
