Airspace Policy and Air Traffic Management
Abstract
The world of manned aviation has been the predominant aerial activity in the skies for the 20th century. The fundamental principle by which the infrastructure and institutional arrangements have been predicated is that there is a man in the loop in the air (pilots) and on the ground (air traffic controllers). With the advent of extremely capable Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems this will no longer be the case and many assumptions about how' aircraft are designed developed and operated will be challenged. However in the 21 century this will be an evolutionary process and the organisations that will take it forward are already in place today to begin the task of providing the necessary frameworks within which UAV systems will co-exist alongside manned aircraft. The challenges for these organisations include legislation and regulation, airspace policy, air traffic management, airworthiness certification, communications, command and control. This lecture covers issues relating to airspace policy and air traffic management aspects.
