Over the past decade Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS, aka “drones”) have become pervasive, touching virtually all aspects of our world. While UAS offer great opportunity to better our lives and strengthen economies, at the same time these can significantly disrupt manned flight operations and put our very lives in peril. Balancing the demanding and competing requirements of safely integrating UAS into the United States (US) National Airspace System (NAS) has been a top priority of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for several years. This paper outlines efforts taken by the FAA and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to create the UAS Traffic Management (UTM) system as a means to address this capability gap. It highlights the perspectives and experiences gained by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration (ACUASI) as one of the FAA’s six UAS test sites participating in the NASA-led UTM program. The paper summarizes UAF’s participation in the UTM Technical Capability Level (TCL1-3) campaigns, including flight results, technical capabilities achieved, lessons learned, and continuing challenges regarding the implementation of UTM in the NAS. It also details future efforts needed to enable practical Beyond-Visual-Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) flights for UAS operations in rural Alaska.

阿拉斯加大学将无人飞机系统整合到国家空域系统中以支持FAA / NASA UAS交通管理计划

在过去的十年中，无人飞机系统（UAS，又称“无人机”）变得无处不在，几乎触及了我们世界的各个方面。虽然无人机系统为改善我们的生活和增强经济性提供了绝佳的机会，但与此同时，它们可能会严重干扰有人驾驶的飞行操作，并危及我们的生命。多年来，平衡将UAS安全集成到美国国家空域系统（NAS）的苛刻和竞争要求一直是联邦航空管理局（FAA）的头等大事。本文概述了美国联邦航空局和美国国家航空航天局（NASA）为创建UAS交通管理（UTM）系统所做的努力，以此来解决这种能力差距。它重点介绍了阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯大学（UAF）阿拉斯加无人飞机系统集成中心（ACUASI）作为美国联邦航空局（FAA）参加NASA领导的UTM计划的六个UAS测试地点之一所获得的观点和经验。本文总结了UAF在UTM技术能力级别（TCL1-3）活动中的参与情况，包括飞行结果，获得的技术能力，经验教训以及有关在NAS中实施UTM的持续挑战。它还详细介绍了未来的努力，需要为在阿拉斯加农村地区进行的UAS操作启用实际的视线范围外（BVLOS）飞行。包括飞行结果，获得的技术能力，经验教训以及有关在NAS中实施UTM的持续挑战。它还详细介绍了未来的努力，需要为在阿拉斯加农村地区进行的UAS操作启用实际的视线范围外（BVLOS）飞行。包括飞行结果，获得的技术能力，经验教训以及有关在NAS中实施UTM的持续挑战。它还详细介绍了未来的努力，需要为在阿拉斯加农村地区进行的UAS操作启用实际的视线范围外（BVLOS）飞行。
