UTM allows safe operations by providing airspace management, geo-fencing, weather and wind integration, separation management and contingency management. Parimal Kopardekar will be a panelist at the upcoming InterDrone Conference in September speaking about how to successfully integrate drones into the NAS (national airspace). His work at NASA on UTM (the NASA’s low-altitude air traffic management research for unmanned aerial systems) is going to be a critical component to this effort, so we reached out to our friends at NASA to ask a few questions and learn more. What follows is our interview with a NASA Spokesperson…
