Govt notifies drone traffic management policy

India has notified a traffic management policy framework for National Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) or drones,
which will allow both private and public service providers to manage drone traffic in the country. The traffic manage-
ment policy framework for drones takes into scenarios which involve flying multiple drones near manned aircraft,
especially on lower levels of the airspace where drones are allowed to fly.
"With rapid technological evolution of unmanned aircraft, opening up of new use cases and policy reforms, the num-
ber of unmanned aircraft operating in the Indian airspace is poised to increase rapidly," said the National Unmanned
Aircraft System (UAS) Traffic Management (UTM) policy framework. The safety of manned and unmanned aircraft
across the Indian airspace is a critical requirement and needs to be enabled by a combination of standards, proce-
dures, technology and real-time data exchange, the policy said.
"Current Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems have not been designed to handle the traffic from unmanned air-
craft. Integration of unmanned aircraft in the Indian airspace using conventional means may require unmanned air-
craft to be equipped with bulky and expensive hardware, which is neither feasible nor advisable," it said.

"This requires the creation of a separate, modern, primarily software-based, automated UAS Traffic Management
(UTM) system. Such systems may subsequently be integrated into traditional ATM systems," it added. The policy frame-
work further defines the architecture and mechanism for UTM Airspace, which includes traffic management of un-
manned aircraft in Very Low Level (VLL) airspace up to 1000 feet above ground level.
