In preparation for its fourth annual DRONE ENABLE symposium in Rio De Janeiro this September, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is requesting input on the development and deployment of a globally harmonized Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Traffic Management System (UTM).
Responses to the three problem statements listed in a Request for Information (RFI) on performance requirements, certification requirements and integration into aerodromes will inform discussions at the symposium about taking a global approach to effective and interoperable UTM systems.
Regulators, businesses and academicians are encouraged to review the RFI and submit responses by April 17. A specialized agency of the United Nations, ICAO was created in 1944 to promote the safe and orderly development of international civil aviation throughout the world.
