Lockheed Martin has unveiled the beginnings of a UAV traffic management system.
Lockheed's Flight Service Pilot Web now feeds flight plan information directly to the FAA's s National Airspace System (NAS), according to a company news release.
"Our objective is an open, standards-based system that individual operators and other private UTM (unmanned traffic management) systems can use to interact seamlessly and securely with the NAS," said Paul Engola, vice president of Lockheed Martin's transportation and financial solutions division. "We look forward to partnering with UAS operators and manufacturers to help create a system that supports the safe coexistence of manned and unmanned flight."
