The Market for UAV Traffic Management Services – 2020-2024. Edition 3.02 June 2020 www.unmannedairspace.info 4 Market overview The first six months of 2020 has seen the global UAS traffic management (UTM) market fragment, overturning business plans, market assumptions and business strategies. Two events have caused this fragmentation. The first is publication of the FAA’s UTM business model based on the successful Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) programme, in which UTM services will be only partly funded from services charges to operators – commercial and other technical services will have to provide the bulk of UTM service supplier (USS) revenue. The second has been a clarification of the potential technical UTM capabilities of mobile network operators (MNOs), From the GUTMA/GSMA 2020 “Connected Skies” series of webinars it is clear that MNOs will not only be able to provide connectivity but integrate UTM services such as geofencing and alerts, dynamic ground-risk determination, virtual “human-eye” piloting, drone tracking and positioning, real-time data analytics, weather condition reporting and forecasting, post-flight data analysis and reports, airspace access authorisations and cloud services into an inter-connected eco-system. For MNOs, their networks will be to support drone operator (command and control/payload download) services in parallel to UTM services. This changes the landscape of the UTM market. Where will this leave USS companies? At first sight, in a very difficult position. There is still clear top-line revenue to be had from working with air navigation service providers (ANSPs) by providing strategic UTM architectures, especially at a national level, and around 2030 there will be a major influx of new business from towns, cities and regions requiring bespoke UTM systems for urban/advanced air mobility concepts. Providing an interface between the UTM and ATM systems is another key role USSs can play. But the prospect of slogging it out with multiple, super-competitive, technically-advanced USS companies in the tactical UTM market is unappealing unless they can develop a range of USPs which will allow them to dominate a sector. No wonder that over the last six months many have begun to re-examine their business models, providing other drone related services such as pizza delivery and construction site operations integration. With 5G, MNOs have a technical capability and financial reserves that make partnership agreements with USS companies highly complex – and have very different views on who will be providing what in the future UTM eco-system (see table one). In the long term USS company business plans will be driven to a large part - in the USA and Europe at least – by the rules of engagement for UTM services currently being drawn up by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). These are currently being drafted by both organisations, with the final iterations likely to be broadly amended from the draft versions following inputs from industry and – in EASA’s case – States.

The implementation of new inno- vations and novel tactics has proven to be efective in curbing the risk of COVID-19. The present study covers the role of smart technology in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 with specifc focus on advancement in the feld of drone, robotics, artifcial intelligence (AI), mask, and sensor technology. The fndings shed light on the robotics and drone technology-driven approaches that have been applied for assisting health system, surveillance, and disinfection process, etc. The AI technology strategies and framework is highlighted in terms of bulk data computing, predicting infection threats, providing medical assistance, and analyzing diagnosis results. Besides this, the technological shift in mask and sensor technology during the pandemic have been illustrated, which includes fabrication method like 3D printing and optical sensing, respectively. Fur- thermore, the strength, weakness, opportunities, and possible threats that have been shaped by the rigorous implementation of these technologies are also covered in detail.

Wingcopter will use the funds to strengthen its leadership in drone-based logistics, with a special focus on healthcare-related applications, including the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. At the same time, Wingcopter is well-positioned and ready to establish© 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COMmore partnerships — Reproduction, worldwide copying, centering or redistribution around for commercial other purposesfully automated is prohibited. delivery1 applications. The financing round was led by Silicon Valley-based Xplorer Capital, a key investor in autonomous technologies, and Futury Regio Growth Fund, a Germany-based growth capital fund focusing on investments in globally scalable business models. In addition, Futury Ventures and Hessen Kapital III participated in this financing round. The current model, the Wingcopter 178 Heavy Lift, provides both one- and two-way delivery, covering distances of up to 120 kilometers. It can accurately lower a package through a winch mechanism, or land at the point of destination and return to its origin with new payload. To further expand its market reach, Wingcopter is pressing ahead at full speed to launch the next generation of its aircraft, a game-changing delivery drone with unmatched technical specifications. Pre-orders can already be placed. In addition to selling drones, Wingcopter will rapidly expand its drone-delivery-as-a-service offerings.

  • Drone Evolution: the Best Is Still to Come
    DRONE EVOLUTION: THE BEST IS STILL TO COME Gary Mortimer, Editor of sUAS News, shares his views on ‘rescue robotics’ in ​ ​ hard-to-reach areas of the world and what the Lake Kivu Challenge means for unmanned aviation. Gary Mortimer (centre) at the Lake Victoria Challenge in 2018. Lives are being saved, difficult distances are diminished, and delivery drones are no longer fiction. One has only to look at the activities of Zipline in ​ ​ Rwanda, Ghana, and India, Swoop Aero in Vanuatu, and DHL with Wingcopter in Tanzania - they are the undisputed leaders, beating Amazon and Google to delivering difference. Perhaps it is because of the locations in which they operate, and what they deliver, that their business models make so much sense. Delivering coffee and crêpes does not alter lives. It smacks of frivolity and waste, with people unable to plan to buy household items from locations that they could easily walk to and purchase. It’s time to view this cohort of unmanned aviation for what it has become in Africa - tiny flying ambulances. Regardless of where you are in the world, getting urgent medical supplies through fast is a winner. Africa is especially challenged, with a smaller road network joining mainly principal towns. East Africa is at the forefront of rescue robotics. Born of the Lake Victoria Challenge, the African Drone Forum is ideally placed to prove technology demonstration challenges and provide a forum to talk through realities right where it’s needed the most. When Zipline was started, I was not an advocate - it seemed doomed to failure.
