UAS Traffic Management (UTM)

UAS Traffic Management (UTM) is a system designed to safely manage the increasing number of drones flying in shared airspace. As drones become more common for tasks like delivery, inspection, and recreation, UTM helps coordinate their movements to prevent collisions and ensure safety. It utilizes technology to track drones, provide flight information, and allow airspace users to communicate. UTM works alongside traditional air traffic management but focuses specifically on unmanned aerial systems (UAS), enabling efficient and safe operation in low-altitude environments, and facilitating their integration into the airspace with manned aircraft.
