NASA Has a Plan to Keep Our Skies Free of Drone Congestion
With an increasing number of drones vying for precious airspace, someone should start thinking about how we can possibly hope to manage the traffic congestion that will soon be over our heads.
That’s why NASA has undertaken a long-term effort to come up with an air-traffic management system for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) along the lines of what’s been in place for manned aircraft for decades.
The need for such a system was made abundantly clear recently when a privately operated drone interfered with firefighting efforts in Southern California. No one wants to see that happen again, but until now, there hasn’t really been a way to mitigate against such circumstances.
