Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are already being used successfully in many areas: in inspection and surveying, in agriculture and for transporting medical goods. And in a few years, it may be part of our life to order a flying taxi to get to the airport as quickly as possible. But this also means that we can expect increased air traffic density.
The use of an intelligent traffic management system is intended to help control the flow of traffic, detect conflicts in good time and resolve them in advance, all handling traffic densities that exceed what current traffic management systems can handle. This avoids traffic jams, provides more safety, and saves the energy reserves of aircraft.
