Standards Development
This document establishes a common UTM structure and core functions in the UTM structure. The UTM structure and core functions are needed to be harmonized among UTM systems globally developed and to enable market understanding service could be implemented near future.
It does not cover:
- technical methodology of communication or data transaction among core functions
- business model of players engaging a function of UTM
Market expects rapid growth of civil unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operations in the near future. To manage growing operations, each government has been making an effort to develop UAS traffic management (UTM). On the other hand, this may cause a lack of harmonization among countries and may affect safety, security, the environment, system reliability and economic efficiency.
To avoid disharmonization, we need to create a generic UTM functional structure as a basis of further discussions. Some organizations already created models and reference of UTM functional structure. Therefore, we consider those existing documents and ongoing discussion in other organizations such as ASTM and JARUS to create the UTM functional structure.
Published reference for UTM functional structure: ICAO “Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management (UTM) – A Common Framework with Core Principles for Global Harmonization”
Ongoing discussion to consider: ASTM WK63418 “New Specification for Service provided under UAS Traffic Management (UTM)” EUROCAE WG-105 SG-31/ UTM-General
These models share a lot of common aspects. The reference functional structure and basic functions of building blocks can serve as a mechanism to evaluate and compare different UTMs and can foster adoption of better technologies and solutions. During the 8th SC16 plenary meeting in London, a possible NP on the UTM architecture was discussed with Japan’s document wg4n37, and it was approved for WG4 to provide an NP on UTM functional structure (ISO 23629-5) as stated in the SC16 resolution 136/2019.
