What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
Passur Aerospace has established a UAS-Drone Traffic Management Integration service, the company announced on 17 December.
The aviation intelligence platform is designed to give UAS users the information they need to operate safely in national airspace.
The service provides information on airspace management, operational plan development, flight and airspace data visualisation, fusion, and analytics, and air traffic flow management and optimisation. Collaborative decision making, route planning, irregular operation mitigation, and strategic and tactical mission objectives services are also supported, as is congestion avoidance management.
Leo Prusak, vice president, air traffic management products and strategy, said: ‘Today's National Airspace System user community operates every day, collaboratively, on our platform – so we are well positioned to help commercial UAV operators integrate into the civilian airspace community and work effectively with other stakeholders.
'We believe there is a range of operational and business objectives that need to be balanced to ensure optimal use of limited system capacity.’
