Warsaw, Poland, 4 June 2024—PwC’s Global Centre of Excellence in Drone and Satellite Technologies is proud to announce the launch of a new report focused on providing strategic insights for key stakeholders to thrive in the unmanned traffic management (UTM) ecosystem.

The report, from which insights were shown at the latest Airspace World conference in Geneva, introduces a transformation already well underway through drone technology—representing a fundamental shift in aviation infrastructure. Current air traffic and airspace management systems are overwhelmingly designed to manage manned aviation. The proliferation of drone operations, which the report predicts will double globally to 28 million by 2029, however, points to an urgent requirement for safe, efficient and sustainable UTM systems.   

The PwC report points to the fundamental importance of a coordinated UTM approach among numerous stakeholders, including—ministries and government agencies involved in infrastructure, transportation and digital transformation, air navigation service providers (ANSPs), civil aviation authorities (CAAs), local administration units (LAUs), telecoms and drone technology service providers, as well as law enforcement and defence agencies. The safe and effective integration of drones into airspace can only be attained through strategic collaboration and open dialogue between diverse aviation and technology actors.

As part of PwC’s commitment to finding coordinated approaches to the UTM integration, we are also pleased to announce our full membership of the Global UTM Association (GUTMA), joining organisations such as Amazon, Boeing, LG, Nokia, several national aviation authorities, and many more. As the UTM report makes clear, the market’s evolution is intricately linked to the synergies between regulatory frameworks, technological advancements and market demand—with a robust demand for drone services at its core.     

We see advanced air mobility (AAM), particularly drone delivery, as a key driver of this demand and the associated requirement for UTM frameworks. It is, therefore, vitally important that we work with others to look for UTM solutions that can learn from best practices around the world—but are at the same time flexible enough to be applied in unique local contexts. We look forward to engaging with our fellow GUTMA members and taking an active part in impactful discussions and works on standards and frameworks, to help foster a safe and efficient global UTM ecosystem.

Agnieszka Gajewska, Partner, Global Leader Government and Public Services, PwC Poland, commented:

“I recognise the transformative power of drone technology and I’m passionately aware of its role in reshaping our world today. Far beyond mere process optimisation and digitisation, it opens new markets and enhances public sector availability and efficiency. Drones promise not only to support agencies in fulfilling their mandates but also to contribute to life-saving and humanitarian efforts worldwide. Their potential in environmental protection and energy transition is immense. It is critical for public stakeholders to focus on orchestrating unmanned traffic to ensure safe integration of drones into our skies.”

Aleksander Buczkowski, Director, PwC Drone Powered Solutions, said:

“The Strategic Insights for Thriving in the Unmanned Traffic Management Ecosystem report is a testament to our dedication to advancing drone integration across various industries. By covering the forefront of UTM technology, we aim to illuminate the path toward an integrated drone ecosystem. This report not only addresses the challenges we face but also underscores the vast opportunities for growth and innovation within the UTM sector. Providing a comprehensive overview and forward-looking insights, our goal is to empower stakeholders worldwide to navigate the complexities of future airspace and air management.” 

Michael Burns, Partner, Aviation, Transport and Infrastructure Leader, PwC Australia, also commented:

“The escalating necessity for UTM systems across the globe underscores a critical juncture for Civil Aviation Authorities and Air Navigation Service Providers. As these entities navigate the complexities introduced by drones occupying an ever-increasing expanse of our airspace, the adaptation and forward-thinking in managing the skies become paramount. This report emerges as a crucial milestone, catalysing stakeholder engagement and fostering dialogue essential for addressing the multifaceted challenges UTM presents. The collective endeavour to integrate drones into the airspace at scale demands a concerted effort—a synergy of expertise, innovation, and strategic foresight.”  

Dr. Jan H. Wille, Partner, EMEA Aerospace and Defence Leader, PwC Germany said:

“The importance of a coordinated approach to the integration of drones across both civil and military sectors cannot be overstated. The complexity of safely integrating unmanned systems into our airspace demands a collaborative effort from all stakeholders, including aviation regulators, airspace managers, defence agencies, technology providers, and industry innovators. Establishing clear protocols and frameworks is crucial to enable seamless cooperation between civil and military domains, ensuring that safety and operational efficiency remain paramount. The collective responsibility to develop and implement UMT systems is essential.”

The municipal Seoul Metropolitan Government has said it plans on deploying fleets of drones over the city’s byways to both spot traffic jams about to materialize, and redirect drivers heading toward them. According to the Korea Herald, those sharp-eyed UAVs will go into operation in 2024.

South Korea is enthusiastically planning for the introduction of future advanced urban air activities using UAVs and air taxis to lift delivery trucks and cars into the skies. Now officials in the nation’s capital are preparing to use drones to better manage vehicles that will be left clogging Seoul’s streets.

Planned for rollout in September of next year, those fleets of drones will be flown high above Seoul to gain wider perspectives on ground traffic flows. The video feeds they’ll provide will be linked to artificial intelligence (AI) software designed to draw from accumulating data of when, how, and where traffic jams have formed.

Over time, they are expected to be able to both predict when slowing movement signals major clogs about to form, and provide drivers connected to informational services with warnings and alternative routes to avoid them.

Those drone fleets will hover above the city’s streets at altitudes of between 200 and 230 meter to take in wider swathes of the capital they’ll patrol. The Seoul Metropolitan Government began testing the technique earlier this year, using UAVs and AI systems to gauge, monitor, and understand the accumulation and movement of crowds at large events, as well as traffic driving to and from them.

The drones and AI pairings will form part of a wider system the Seoul Metropolitan Government is assembling to both observe and manage vehicle and crowd movement around the capital.

UAVs will also be used for tangential activity like road repair or construction to monitor progress and detect any safety infractions or code violations.

“By utilizing advanced technologies, the Seoul Metropolitan Government will be able to enhance Seoul’s traffic management capabilities,” Yoon Jong-jang, the head of Seoul’s Urban Transportation Department, was quoted by the Korea Herald. “The new technologies will allow us to acquire traffic information quickly and accurately and therefore help us to provide a safer traffic environment for our citizens.”

By Masayuki Kumada

The revised Civil Aeronautics Act, which came into effect in December 2022, has laid the foundations for “Level 4” drone flight, and expectations are rising for drones to be able to operate “beyond visual line of sight” and “fully autonomously.”

Drones are currently being used in fields such as aerial photography, agriculture, surveying, and some inspections, but by becoming capable of “beyond visual line of sight” and “fully automatic operation,” drones can be used for material transportation, inspections, and other purposes. Further use is expected in areas such as patrolling.

In cases such as aerial photography, agriculture, and surveying, where the main service is for operators to manually fly drones within visual line of sight, drones’ takeoffs and landings are of little concern in terms of operations, but society is facing a declining population and a shortage of workers. The issue is becoming more and more obvious, and in areas such as “goods transportation,” “inspection,” and “patrol work,” which require “beyond visual line of sight” and “fully automatic” drone services, it is important to pay close attention to the “takeoff and landing” of drones. This will require a service design that meets the needs of the customer.

When a drone is operated “beyond visual line of sight” or “fully automatic,” it must not only fly, but also take off and land safely and automatically in locations where the operator is not present. ”, “charging” the aircraft and “confirming the safety” of the surrounding area are extremely important.

Against this background, Blue Innovation has developed a “Drone Port System” where self-developed drones take off and land, and provides it as “BEP Port.”

“BEP Port” focuses on the “Drone Port Information Management System” developed by our company, and collaborates with and integrates various manufacturers of drone ports (drone take-off and landing sites) and peripheral equipment (environment sensors, surveillance cameras, etc.). We offer

By introducing and installing a “BEP port”, it is possible to “charge” the drone and “monitor” takeoff and landing, improving the “safety” of “beyond visual line of sight” and “fully automatic” services.

What is Blue Innovation’s “Drone Port Information Management System”?

 

 

 

 

Drone port information management system (VIS) compliant with the international standard “ISO5491”

The “Drone Port Information Management System *1 ” developed in-house by Blue Innovation can be used to connect external systems such as drone ground stations (GCS: Ground Control System *2 ), traffic management systems (UTMs: UAS Traffic Management System *3 ), etc. ) and API (Application Program Interface), and is the world’s first drone port information management system (VIS: Vertiport Information System *4 ) that complies with the international standard “ISO5491”.

*1　https://www.blue-i.co.jp/solution/logistics/port_01.html
*2 GCS (Ground Control System): A land or sea control center that provides equipment for human control of drones. .
*3 UTMs: UAS Traffic Management System: A management system that enables safe and efficient operation in an environment beyond visual line of sight, even in airspace with multiple drone operators.
*4　https://www.blue-i.co.jp/news/release/20230626_1.html

The connected drone port and surrounding sensor hardware can be selected according to the drone used and customer needs, and the main functions are as follows.

■“Drone port remote monitoring function”
　Remotely monitor the operating status of multiple drone ports in real time

■ “Peripheral device remote monitoring function”
　Remote monitoring of the operating status of peripheral devices such as weather sensors and intrusion detection sensors in real time

■“Drone port remote control function”
　Drone port opening/closing control and automatic opening/closing control by linking with other systems

■“Take-off and landing decision support function”
　Supports drone take-off and landing decisions based on information on the drone port and peripheral devices

■“Information transmission and acquisition function with external systems”
　Links with external systems such as UTM and GCS to transmit and acquire necessary information.

■ “Management screen for drone port operators” A
　management screen for drone port operators to operate drone ports safely and appropriately
　　• Check the reservation status, operating status, and flight plan of each drone port
　　• Operating status of peripheral devices , confirmation of measurement results using peripheral devices, provision of judgment information,
　　confirmation of safety around takeoff and landing locations
　　, confirmation of takeoff and landing status
　　, remote drone port operation
　　, remote drone port control in case of emergency.

■Various API maintenance

In the future, “beyond visual line of sight” and “fully automatic operation” of drones, the “takeoff and landing” of drones will be extremely important.

Blue Innovation’s Drone Port Information Management System was designed and developed to focus on this important aspect and improve safety and efficiency.

“BEP Port” has the flexibility to handle projects of any size. We believe that by utilizing “BEP Port” together with various partner companies, we can realize the early social implementation of safe, secure, and efficient “beyond visual line of sight” and “fully automated” drone operations.

The leading drone administration and uncrewed traffic administration supplier High Lander has announced that its airspace coverage will include electric take-off and landing (eVTOL) provider AIR’s aerial vehicles. Through two scalable, drone-independent software solutions, High Lander is working towards the complete integration of common airspace between manned and uncrewed aircraft. Mission Control, a platform for organising and automating drone missions across all applications, is the first of these two solutions. The other, known as Universal UTM, is a platform for autonomous unmanned traffic management that continuously keeps an eye on all aerial activities across any airspace. To assure safety and adherence to aviation laws, Universal UTM autonomously reviews, approves, and modifies flight plans. It also provides AIR’s eVTOLs with flight monitoring and in-flight conflict alerts.

The first eVTOL from AIR to hit the market, the AIR ONE, is intended for individual ownership and regular, short-distance flying. The aircraft made its debut in October 2021, received airworthiness approval in July 2022, and then conducted its first public hover test. The aircraft can carry two people and their luggage, with a maximum load of 250kg, and can fly for an hour on a single charge. When folded, AIR ONE can be stored in the same area as a car and can take off and land on any flat surface. At the Israel National Drone Initiative in May 2023, the aircraft accomplished its first flight with UTM integration.

“We expect AIR ONE to become the flagship of a new age of personal transportation, and therefore we consider safety and compliance to be of the utmost importance,” said AIR CEO and co-founder Rani Plaut. “By taking advantage of the scalable and comprehensive air traffic coverage of High Lander’s tried-and-tested UTM system, we feel confident that AIR ONE will overcome its last regulatory hurdles and begin to show people around the world that piloting a personal aerial vehicle is as safe and reliable as it is easy and exciting.”

Air’s flagship design, which was first unveiled in 2021, has a 550-pound payload, a 100-mile range, and an hour of flying time, making it smaller and less powerful than a normal air taxi. Air One, however, is most likely to operate outside of specific air taxi routes, such as the one Archer and United are contemplating in Chicago, in contrast to Joby or Archer’s aircraft. Indeed, according to Air’s website, the business plans for consumers to store and launch Air One from their homes.

That creates a special situation. Early eVTOL operations would rely on existing air traffic management infrastructure and designated advanced air mobility (AAM) corridors, according to outgoing FAA chief Billy Nolen. The goal of Archer, Joby, and other manufacturers who intend to begin flying to and from the airport is supported by the FAA’s blueprint. However, it excludes businesses like Air, which envisions spontaneous flights that land in backyards and driveways.

High Lander steps in to help with it. To assist pilots in adhering to aviation laws, Air will employ the company’s Universal UTM system to autonomously give flight plan approvals and updates, real-time flight monitoring, and in-flight conflict notifications. Through the Israel National Drone Initiative, the businesses reportedly successfully piloted an Air One that was combined with High Lander’s UTM in May.

“AIR ONE is an impressive feat of engineering and stands to have a dramatic effect on the way people travel. This brings with it regulatory and safety challenges that must be overcome before this new market can take off,” said High Lander CEO and co-founder Alon Abelson. “All of these challenges can be overcome with Universal UTM, and we’re proud to be providing the safety network for this groundbreaking product and a whole new generation of pilots.”

For the $150,000 Air One, Air has taken more than 300 preorder payments. Deliveries are expected to start in late 2024. However, the company must first go through the maze of FAA clearances required to mass-produce the aircraft in the U.S., which is its primary target market.

It is now negotiating with the FAA to get a G-1 certification base; this approval established the airworthiness requirements for type certification for eVTOL manufacturers Joby, Archer, and others.

The procedure is drawn-out and difficult. The completion of prototype hover testing by Air in June 2022, followed in January by its maiden transition-to-cruise flight—the first of thousands of FAA-required flying hours—gave the company a boost. Soon after, the business relocated the majority of its activities to the United States, where it would carry out more flight testing and developme

“In addition to helping improve yacht logistics, this partnership enables yachters to add an extra layer of sky-high adventure to sea excursions and is a significant step in our mission to advance air mobility adoption around the world,” Plaut said of the collaboration.

Nobody knows what Air will do next. To far, the business has promoted Air One to both GA pilots and non-pilots. However, as of right now, no one on Earth has obtained eVTOL certification, and for good reason—the technology is still in its infancy and probably a few years away from enabling safe, regular flights.

That could soon alter as a new bipartisan measure requesting a certification procedure for AAM pilots moves through Congress. However, until it does, Air will need to figure out a means to certify its customers and guarantee that they fly safely in congested airspace. In other words, despite Air One accreditation, there will still be obstacles to overcome.
