Abstract
The integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in all classes of airspace represents, at the same time, an evolutionary and a revolutionary step in air transport operations. As a result, new concepts have emerged for UAS traffic management to support the anticipated traffic density growth and the need for safe beyond visual line-of-sight operations. Closely linked with these developments, urban/advanced air mobility (UAM/AAM) has appeared as a new and disruptive dimension for aviation, potentially enabling mobility of goods and people at a different scale compared with current operations, while also emphasizing the need of seamless integration with the existing air traffic management (ATM) framework. These UAS capabilities are reshaping the future of aviation, but also challenge traditional paradigms, requiring significant advances both in technologies and regulations, while keeping strong links with public communities and the perception of societal benefits. As an example, a key role is played by the progress of communications, navigation and surveillance technologies, such as sense-and-avoid and global navigation satellite systems-resilient, alternate position, navigation, and timing systems, and by the seamless integration of airborne and ground infrastructure within a cyber-aware context. Similarly, significant restructuring of the existing regulatory framework is needed to ensure that the integrity and safety of the AAM/ATM integrated airspace is maintained while enabling autonomous operations with higher technological flexibility and refresh rates.
