Abstract	Aurora continues to develop advanced UAVs for both military and commercial applications. In the military arena, Orion is undergoing certification under Air Force support, and we continue to build and sell Centaurs. We are also developing SUAS vehicles for various applications including counter-UAS. In the commercial realm, Aurora is developing key technologies across the entire spectrum of what NASA now calls “Advanced Aerial Mobility,” in its role as a disruptive force within Boeing. Package delivery, cargo carried through the NAS, and urban air mobility (air taxis) are all in the mix, with both cross-cutting and product-specific work ongoing. Finally, advanced vehicle development and autonomy work continues on such programs as the DARPA ACE (AI for basic fighter maneuvering), DARPA CRANE (new active flow control-enabled configurations), and a variety of programs involving artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML).
