PURPOSE AND IMPLEMENTATION. This Umbrella Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “"Agreement” " or “"Umbrella Agreement”") shall be for the purpose of providing Partner Xwing sharing its open source, publicly- available flight and ground operations data, algorithms, and evidence to NASA and then NASA will use this to validate its current open-source algorithms. NASA will then integrate improvements, as relevant, into future releases of its publicly-available safety processes and open-source algorithms. Collaborative efforts between NASA and Xwing will be towards the creation of a) safety arguments supporting increasingly-autonomous aviation design and operations, and b) a safety management system that enables routine flight for increasingly-autonomous vehicles and ground systems. Under this Umbrella Agreement, the various NASA Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) research and evaluation activities will also be collecting performance data, trajectory compliance data, vehicle robustness to contingencies, pilot work load, emergency procedures, simplified pilot functions and reduced training and certification requirements, airspace communications, ground operations, infrastructure needs, and so forth that are intended to build on new infrastructure standards, pilot/operator certification standards (e.g., with aircraft that have a high level of automation), and other standards. Additionally, the NASA KSC services in support Aeronautics Research Institute (NARI) may work with Xwing to explore and understand supply-chain issues that prohibit the use of Partner's activities when NASA KSC has determined that—(a) consistent with increasingly- autonomous aviation systems for public benefit and affect the National Space Policy safety of the United States (June 28, 2010), NASA Policy Directive 9080.1, and NASA Advisory Implementing Instruction 1050-1, providing such services will not preclude, discourage, or compete with United States commercial space activities, and (b) NASA KSC will not provide the services under Commercial Space Launch Act (CSLA) authority. NASA KSC will make services available to Partner on an "as available, noninterference" basis with NASA requirements and previous NASA commitments or launch operations. NASA may provide services will not specifically identified in the exhibit on reimbursable support services (Exhibit B). The Parties agree that any determination by NASA that a requested service is not available, that providing a service would preclude, discourage, or compete with United States commercial space activities, or that providing a service would interfere with NASA’s ongoing or projected launch operations will be conclusive and not subject to legal claim, judicial review, or other appealconducting test flights. The Parties shall execute one (1) Annex Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “"Annex”") concurrently with this Umbrella Agreement. The Parties may execute subsequent Annexes under this Umbrella Agreement consistent with the purpose and terms of this Umbrella Agreement. This Umbrella Agreement shall govern all Annexes executed hereunder; no Annex shall amend this Umbrella Agreement. Each Annex will detail the specific purpose of the proposed activity, responsibilities, schedule and milestones, and any personnel, property or facilities to be utilized under the task. This Umbrella Agreement takes precedence over any Annexes. In the event of a conflict between the Umbrella Agreement and any Annex concerning the meaning of its provisions, and the rights, obligations and remedies of the Parties, the Umbrella Agreement is controlling.

PURPOSE AND IMPLEMENTATION. A. This Umbrella Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement” or “Umbrella Agreement”) shall be for the purpose of providing Partner with services identified in Exhibit B, Reimbursable Support Services. NASA KSC may provide similar services not specifically identified in support of Partner's activities Exhibit B on these same terms. NASA will only provide services when NASA KSC has determined that—(a) consistent that providing such services will not preclude, discourage, or compete with United States commercial space activities, as required under the National Space Policy of the United States (June 28, 2010), NASA Policy Directive 9080.1, and NASA Advisory Implementing Instruction 1050-1, providing such services will not preclude, discourage, or compete with United States commercial space activities, and (b) NASA KSC will not provide the services under Commercial Space Launch Act (CSLA) authority. NASA KSC will make services available to Partner on an "as available, noninterference" basis with NASA requirements and previous NASA commitments or launch operations. NASA may provide services not specifically identified in the exhibit on reimbursable support services (Exhibit B). The Parties agree that any determination by NASA that a requested service is not available, that providing a service would preclude, discourage, or compete with United States commercial space activities, or that providing a service would interfere with NASA’s ongoing or projected launch operations will be conclusive and not subject to legal claim, judicial review, or other appeal. .
B. The Parties shall execute one (1) Annex Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Annex”) concurrently with this Umbrella Agreement. The Parties may execute subsequent Annexes under this Umbrella Agreement consistent with the purpose and terms of this Umbrella Agreement. This Umbrella Agreement shall govern all Annexes executed hereunder; no Annex shall amend this Umbrella Agreement. Each Annex will detail the specific purpose of the proposed activity, responsibilities, schedule and milestones, and any personnel, property or facilities to be utilized under the task.

PURPOSE AND IMPLEMENTATION. This Umbrella Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “"Agreement” " or “"Umbrella Agreement”") shall be for the purpose of providing Partner with enabling collaboration between NASA KSC services and The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to support research related to the initiation and integration of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) vehicles into highly complex urban environments for commercial operations. For the Port Authority, this is a continuing effort to best serve its business model and customer need. Nothing in support this Agreement shall be construed to obligate the Port Authority to commit funds in furtherance of Partner's activities when NASA KSC has determined that—(a) consistent this agreement, which includes any adjoining annexes. Furthermore, the Port Authority enters into this Agreement with the National Space Policy express understanding of the United States (June 28Parties that no Commissioner, 2010)director, NASA Policy Directive 9080.1shareholder, and NASA Advisory Implementing Instruction 1050-1officer, providing such services will not precludepartner, discouragemember, agent or employee of the Port Authority, shall be charged personally or held contractually liable by or to the other party under any term or provision of this Agreement or of any supplement, modification or amendment to this Agreement or because of any breach thereof, or compete with United States commercial space activities, and (b) NASA KSC will not provide the services under Commercial Space Launch Act (CSLA) authority. NASA KSC will make services available to Partner on an "as available, noninterference" basis with NASA requirements and previous NASA commitments because of its or launch operations. NASA may provide services not specifically identified in the exhibit on reimbursable support services (Exhibit B)their execution or attempted execution. The Parties agree also acknowledge that the Port Authority does not intend to provide NASA with any determination by NASA that a requested service is not available, that providing a service would preclude, discourage, Proprietary Data or compete with United States commercial space activities, or that providing a service would interfere with NASA’s ongoing or projected launch operations will be conclusive and not subject to legal claim, judicial review, or other appealemploy Related Entities under this Agreement.
