UAM4Gov - Closing the AAM/UAM skills gap for members of city and local government

** 地方当局在英国城市空中机动性/先进空中机动性（UAM/AAM）和市政无人机服务的发展中发挥着至关重要的作用。全球约有100个城市 ** 已开始规划电动空中出租车服务，贸易协会CIVATA Global于2022年进行的研究确定了15个地方当局有直接责任与监管机构和运营商合作的领域，以确保无人机和载客电动垂直起降飞机（eVTOL）在其社区内安全和环保地运行。其中包括：保护公民免受无知、粗心和犯罪的无人机操作员的伤害;确定适当的起飞和降落地点;保护环境问题区域;智能地使用无人机拯救生命，减少地方当局的碳排放并改善服务提供。然而，大多数英国地方政府 ** 并没有意识到这个快速发展的行业所带来的挑战和机遇。UAM 4Gov将开发一个基于互联网的教育平台 **，其中包括为专业人士设计的六门初始课程，并辅以资源库和一系列专家互动研讨会，为地方当局提供重要资源，以了解他们在开发无人机和UAM/AAM生态系统中的作用。这些资源将有助于改变其公民的生活，并加速英国在这一具有重要战略意义的全球产业中的工业潜力。未来飞行赠款 ** 将资助互动教育平台的开发;为地方政府决策者提供六门初步专业课程;一个联系人、专家和白皮书原始材料的资源库;以及一系列季度专家问答互动研讨会中的第一次。

**Local authorities have a critical role** to play in the development of urban air mobility/advanced air mobility (UAM/AAM) and municipal drone services in the UK.**Around 100 cities in the world** have started planning for electric air taxi services and research by the trade association CIVATAglobal in 2022 identified 15 areas where local authorities have a direct responsibility for engaging with regulators and operators to ensure the safe and environmentally responsible operation of drones and passenger carrying electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) in their community. These include: protecting citizens from the clueless, careless and the criminal drone operators; identifying appropriate take-off and landing sites; protecting areas of environmental concern; and using drones intelligently to save lives, reduce local authority-derived carbon emissions and improve service delivery.**Yet most UK local governments** are unaware of the challenges and the opportunities presented by this fast-developing sector.**UAM4Gov will develop an internet-based educational platform** with six initial courses designed for the professional, complemented by a resource library and a series of ask-the-expert interactive seminars which will provide local authorities with a vital resource to understand their role in developing drone and UAM/AAM eco-systems. These resources will help transform the lives of their citizens and accelerate the UK's industrial potential in this strategically important global industry.**The Future Flight grant** will fund the development of the interactive educational platform; six initial professional courses for local government decision makers; a resource library of contacts, experts and white-paper source material; and the first of a series of quarterly ask-the-expert interactive seminars.
