Unmanned Air Traffic Management (UTM): A Robotic Future

Since the emergence of commercial and recreational drones, it has become necessary to manage and regulate their presence in airspace. To meet this challenge, the concept of "Unmanned Air Traffic Management" or UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) has emerged. This system aims to ensure peaceful coexistence between drones and other flying devices, while minimizing the risk of accidents.


What is the UTM?


UTM is essentially a set of technologies and procedures that make it possible to manage drone operations safely and efficiently. Unlike traditional air traffic control, which is mainly based on human interventions, the UTM is often automated and uses advanced algorithms and real-time data to monitor and regulate drone traffic.

Key features of the UTM:

  1. IDentification and Monitoring: The UTM can identify each drone in flight, know its position, trajectory, speed, and other essential data.

  2. Airspace Management: (Aerial Space): The UTM delimits areas where drones may or may not fly, taking into account other airspace users and potential obstacles.

  3. Automated Communication: The UTM can send alerts to drone operators to inform them of potential risks or to give them instructions.

  4. Coordination with Air Traffic Control: In complex airspaces, the UTM works in parallel with manned air traffic control, thus ensuring a smooth transition between areas managed by the UTM and those managed by traditional air traffic control.




Why is UTM so important?

As the number of drones increases, the risk of collisions and incidents becomes a major concern. Without a system like the UTM, it would be almost impossible to effectively manage drone traffic, especially in densely populated areas or near airports.


The UTM also plays a crucial role in the development of new applications for drones. Let's imagine a city where drones make deliveries, assist law enforcement, capture data for real estate projects and much more. For these activities to coexist, a sophisticated management system is essential.


In conclusion,


The UTM is a key element in ensuring that the rise of drones is done in a secure and orderly manner. With his help, we can envisage a sky where men and machines work hand in hand for the benefit of all.
