Shepherd, PhD – Managing Editor Executive Director and Chief Scientist, Unmanned Aerial Systems Sinclair College National UAS Training and Certification Center Volume 4, Issue 1 5 www.uasjournal.org JOURNAL UNMANNED OF AERIAL SYSTEMS PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS FOR UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS Dr. Sandor Zsolt Independent transportation expert ABSTRACT The increasing number of unmanned aerial vehicles requires a traffic management system which provides safe sepa- ration and safe operations for the new airspace users as it has already been used in the conventional air traffic.These management systems work as a combination of independent systems. The technical solutions and the offered ser- vices can be classified according to several dimensions. In this article, the possible solutions are presented based on the technical development stages, in line with the industrial development possibilities. Keywords: unmanned aerial vehicles; traffic management; drones; air traffic www.uasjournal.org 6 Volume 4, Issue 1 JOURNAL UNMANNED OF AERIAL SYSTEMS Introduction See all the abreviations indicated by number at the end of the article. Due to the increasing number of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS1 or common terms: drones), there is strong need for specific aviation related technical solutions which guarantee the safe operations of the new remotely controlled devices in the very low level (VLL2) airspace similar to the conventional air traffic management. These systems are called UTM systems – unmanned aircraft system traffic management – which are created by the combination of several systems, thus they can be considered as complex system combinations or System of Systems (SoS). They comprehensively handle the flight mission related tasks executed by the UAVs at all phases of missions – from the preparation to the fulfilment and in case of advanced solutions these system can support even the post flight activities like administrative and evaluation tasks (Kopardekar et al., 2016; Spriesterbach et al., 2013). By the increasing spread of commercial and non-military drones, a highly heterogeneous user community is emerg- ing – it can range from the professional users who have high level aviation knowledge to the hobby users, who have only limited knowledge about the rules and regulations. Differences relate not only to the knowledge of the users but to the capability of the applied devices by the users. UTM systems has to be prepared for the management of these heterogeneity. The technical solutions covered by the UTM solutions have already mentioned in previous articles, in which the functions (information management operations) provided by the service have been defined (Sándor, 2017). Due to the different technical needs it is expedient to modularize the set of the system of system in accordance with the development of UAS solutions and the needs of different user groups. From user side, the development of UAVs and the connecting devices is continuous, but the rate is not so fast that the UTM solutions would not follow. UTM solutions are continuously evolving within the aviation industry by the spread of UAVs. The expansion of this market segment is beginning nowadays through the development of connected services and technology. Nowadays there is no UTM service provider in the world yet – similar to the ATM, with national coverage –. The available solutions are working as pilots. Within the developers there are small and big companies who are continuously investigating the implementation possibilities. The scope is wide, it ranges from the start-ups until the market leader ATM developer companies (Global UTM Association, 2017; Wargo et al., 2016; FAA Aerospace Forecast, 2016). In this article only the civil use and its background of the UTM is presented. Military and state activities require other f regulation

Abstract The respective populations of the United States and Texas are expected to significantly increase over to the next several decades, primarily in urban and metropolitan areas. Economists have also predicted that oil prices will rise in real terms during the same period. Air quality is getting worse in a number of metropolitan areas, triggering non-attainment penalties and spurring an interest in cleaner transportation. Incentives and new policies must be adopted to increase the efficiency of the transportation system and thus move freight with a reduced impact on society and the environment. Hybrids can potentially help solve this issue through their increased fuel economy and reduced emissions. This project evaluated a package delivery truck, beverage delivery truck, and a refuse truck.

Why? Because our pensions depend on the decisions of the next generation. Julie Lithgow It’s no secret that we face numerous challenges in attracting, training and retaining the people we need in our industry at sea and ashore, but the solution is more nuanced than simply recruitment and retention. For example, if the European Commission succeeds in expanding the Blue Economy initiative, an increase in jobs could also create a shortage in skills. While external training initiatives are good steps in overcoming the skills gap, our industry needs new ways of attracting smart, talented and ambitious people, including those who are considering a career change. Perhaps our best move is to create a better culture within our Companies must invest in their staff’s learning potential companies for talented people to pursue careers in our sector.

  • NASA Selects 10 Smallsat Missions for Concept Development. DJI: Uavs Should Transmit Identifier for Security. US Army Considerin
    27Mar17 NASA Selects 10 SmallSat Missions For Concept Development. Engadget (3/26) reports that NASA has selected 10 projects proposed under its Planetary Science Deep Space SmallSat Studies (PSDS3) program to receive a total of $3.6 million for concept planning. The projects include two focused on Venus; one to study the elemental composition of the moon; two asteroid missions, including one proposed by Lockheed Martin; one to study Martian moons; another to study Mars’ climate variability; one to study Uranus’ atmosphere; and another to study Jupiter’s magnetosphere. NASA Planetary Science Division Director Jim Green said that the “small but mighty satellites have the potential to enable transformational science.” 28Mar17 DJI: UAVs Should Transmit Identifier For Security. The AP (3/27) reports that in a paper released on Monday, DJI argued that continual transmission of an identification code by unmanned aircraft could help to address governments’ security concerns while safeguarding operators’ privacy. DJI suggested that the system could be developed using existing technology, and an attorney for the company equated the transmitted codes to license plates. Also on Monday, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta announced that the agency will create an advisory committee to make recommendations regarding remote UAV tracking and to facilitate discussions on security between government agencies and the commercial UAV industry. US Army Considering Collapsible UAV Helicopter For Evacuations. Popular Mechanics (3/27) reports that the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command is studying Dragonfly Pictures’ DP-14 Hawk UAV “as a possible alternative to traditional helicopters for casualty evacuation.” The twin-rotor DP-14, resembling a “miniature CH-47 Chinook,” features a man-sized internal payload bay, collapses to fit inside a utility van, and can be reassembled in 40 minutes.

  • UAS and Smallsat Weekly News Lockheed Locking in First Fury UAV Customer
    UAS and SmallSat Weekly News 1May17 Lockheed Locking In First Fury UAV Customer Apr 26, 2017James Drew | Aerospace Daily & Defense Report NASHVILLE, Tennessee—Lockheed Martin is finalizing the sale of six Fury UAVs to an undisclosed Middle East customer. The company is responding to a sole-source request for proposal for the initial batch of middleweight unmanned aircraft, potentially resulting in the first direct commercial sale of Fury. Lockheed Martin Unmanned Systems San Luis Obispo site director Brendan Rhatigan tells Aviation Week in an April 26 interview that if the sale proceeds, all six aircraft could be built by late October. Lockheed will support training and prepare the system for initial operations, but responsibility for day-to-day use eventually will transition to the new owner. The four test vehicles collectively have logged more than 400 flight hours. “We’ve flown as many hours in the last 8-9 months as in the prior three years,” Rhatigan says. Fury is advertised to fly for 15 hr. carrying a 100-lb. payload. The aircraft demonstrated 12 hr. of endurance during a recent demonstration for the Army at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. It landed with one hours’ worth of fuel unspent—still 2 hr. short of Lockheed’s endurance goal. http://aviationweek.com/defense/lockheed-locking-first-fury-uav-customer FAA-Commissioned Report: UAVs “Far More Safe” Than Previously Assumed. Digital Trends (4/29) reported that new findings prepared for the FAA conclude that small UAVs are much safer “to operate around people than earlier models had assumed.” According to the report by the Alliance for Safety System of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE), today’s UAV’s feature “unique aerodynamic and structural properties that mitigate the force involved in a 1 collision.” Aviation International News (4/28) reported that the “FAA plans to incorporate the findings in a regulation governing flights of small drones over people, which is currently not allowed.” FAA Tests UAV Detection Technologies.
