Project BLUEPRINT - Developing a Blueprint for Scalable UTM-Enabled BVLOS Drone Operations Across the UK

该项目旨在创建和演示数字基础设施和操作程序，以允许安全和高效的共享空域。最近的BVLOS项目专注于在临时危险区域(TDA)操作，这些TDA都是临时的，对其他空域用户关闭，因此无法扩展。在临时空域的操作不允许运营商围绕这项技术建立商业案例，相反，他们专注于技术演示和试验，但无法交付预期结果。要过渡到持续和常规操作，视线以外(BVLOS)无人机需要与其他空域用户完全整合在“共享空域”内，而不是在“隔离空域”内。要实现这一点，有六个关键挑战需要克服：*发展包容所有空域用户的空域*管理航空利益相关者的有效治理*开发可扩展的检测和避免解决方案*集成和开发UTM最低可行产品*在机场环境中集成无人机*为使能技术开发适航性和软件保证要求BLUEPRINT旨在解决所有这些问题，通过以下一系列能力蓝图为英国境内的常规和持续的BVLOS无人机运营创建一种方法：*空域-通过强制电子保密和UTM应用程序的使用共享空域*治理--一个整合了整个航空业高级领导者的行业机构，为了帮助就共享空域的规则达成共识*检测和避免-与司令部集成的分布式监视和跟踪服务*UTM-建立在CPC开放访问框架和ASTM互操作性标准基础上*机场-为机场集成开发原子项目(FF2 Winner)*监管-制造商、软件提供商和无人机运营商的保证标准这使得Blueprint适用于许多用例和机会，特别是在针对多旋翼的特定类别中，单旋翼和固定翼无人机预计将在受控制和不受控制的空域内爆炸式增长，并在受控制和不受控制的空域内为所有想要共享飞机的空域用户提供约500公斤的规模。该蓝图的目的是为监管机构、技术提供商和运营商提供一份在英国范围内推出BVLOS无人机操作的蓝图，该操作可以大规模商业化。该蓝图将允许利益相关者设计、规划和构建常规和持久的BVLOS无人机能力，这些能力可以在欧洲水平上出口。

This project aims to create and demonstrate digital infrastructure and operational procedures that will allow safe and efficient shared airspace.Recent BVLOS projects have focused on operating in Temporary Danger Areas (TDAs) which are both temporary, closed off to other airspace users, so are not scalable.Operations in temporary airspace do not allow operators to build a business case around the technology, and instead they have focused on technology demonstrations and trials, which fail to deliver the expected results.To transition to persistent and routine operations, beyond visual light of sight (BVLOS) drones need to be fully integrated with other airspace users within "shared airspace" rather than within "segregated airspace".To achieve this, there are six key challenges which need to be overcome:* Development of airspace which is inclusive to all airspace users* Effective governance to manage aviation stakeholders* Development of scalable detect and avoid solutions* Integration and development of a UTM minimum viable product* Integration of drones within an airport environment* Development of airworthiness and software assurance requirements for the enabling technologiesBLUEPRINT aims to solve all of these problems, creating an approach for routine and persistent BVLOS drone operations within the UK via a series of capability blueprints as follows:* Airspace - Shared Airspace Zone via mandated Electronic Conspicuity and use of UTM Apps* Governance - An industry body which incorporates senior leaders across the whole aviation sector, to help come to a consensus on rules for shared airspace* Detect & Avoid - Distributed surveillance and tracking service integrated with Command Units* UTM - Building on the CPC Open Access Framework and ASTM standards of interoperability* Aerodrome - Development of project Atomicus (FF2 winner) for airport integration* Regulatory - Assurance standards for manufacturers, software providers and drone operatorsThis makes Blueprint applicable to many use cases and opportunities, especially within the specific category for both multi-rotor, single rotor and fixed wing drones where the growth is predicted to explode in size and scale up to approximately 500kg within controlled and uncontrolled airspace for all airspace users who want to share the air.The aim of the BLUEPRINT is to provide regulators, technology providers and operators with a blueprint for UK wide rollout of BVLOS drone operations which can be commercialised at scale. The blueprint will allow stakeholders to design, plan and build routine and persistent BVLOS drone capabilities which can be exported on a European level.
