UTM
Unmanned aircraft system traffic management, a digital system designed specifically for low-altitude airspace. It enables real-time drone scheduling, conflict avoidance and airspace sharing.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and NASA have been advancing research and development of the UTM (UAS Traffic Management) system for years, attempting to use digital means to achieve real-time scheduling and conflict avoidance for drones.
UTM is a digital system designed for low-altitude airspace, with core capabilities including: network-based remote identification, real-time position sharing, geofencing, dynamic airspace authorization, and automated conflict detection and avoidance.
UTM does not require a controller for every drone; instead, it lets operators, regulators, and service providers share situational awareness through a cloud platform.
NASA and the FAA launched UTM pilots around 2015 and subsequently pushed for regulations such as Remote ID to be implemented.
