The "Jetsons" era is only a few years away.
The potential uses for drones, UAVs and other AAVs is expanding with rapidly evolving capability. AAM is just around the corner. Projected numbers and types are considerable. How will it be managed and integrated with other airspace users and cities' transport systems over and through which they will operate? Work is happening worldwide, developing crucial systems and services necessary to make it all work.
4D ATM, Integrated airspace models; what does it all mean?
The new industry is developing rapidly, and technology is not a barrier. As the industry begins to scale, other issues will become apparent. These issues are not - yet - front of mind for governments and industry planners.
The drone and AAM industry's scale, intricacies and nuance need a focus of its own. Closed Loop believes this to be so crucial that we have created a separate, wholly-owned subsidiary to work with the new industry, government, cities and planners to facilitate a societally beneficial outcome for everyone.
