Deployment Scenario Title

U-space U2 — initial services

Deployment Scenario Description U-space U2 — initial services: this deployment scenario relates to an initial set of services designed to support the safe management of beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations and a first level of interface and connection with ATM/ATC and manned aviation. This phase includes the establishment of U-space service providers within a distributed and connected architecture. Where appropriate, U2 will make use of the existing infrastructure for ATM; new opportunities for drone operations will be enabled through the exploitation of technologies from other sectors. The range of operations at low levels will increase, including some operations in controlled airspace. Drone flights will no longer be considered on a case-by-case basis, and some BVLOS operations will become routine.
The U-space initial services will include at minimum the following: tactical geo-fencing, emergency management, strategic deconfliction, weather information services, tracking, flight planning management, monitoring, traffic information, drone aeronautical information management and procedural interface with ATC.
