Flight Launchpad: Declaring current and future flight plans in a standardized fashion

Fri, 11 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0000

As the airspace gets busier, flight schedules and associated geographic information must be shared and transmitted in a standard fashion. At the moment the flight plans are built on customized software or other opensource software. Most of these software have a the functionality to export flight plans as “standard” geo-referenced file e.g. see KML export in QGroundcontrol.

Just like KML, there are numerous other formats to capable of handling geographical information, just take a look at some proprietary and open data formats. Do they work? Yes, perfectly.. but only if you know some of the specifics and more importantly, depending on what you are trying to some work better than others.

Flight Passport: Identity and Authentication for Unmanned Aviation

Thu, 10 Sep 2020 13:17:14 +0100

Drones and unmanned vehicles present new challenges to identity, authentication and most importantly cyber-security. Given the dynamic nature of the industry, the space continuously evolves so it can be hard to keep up. In this article you will be introduced to some basic things regarding authentication and also around options that you have to enable authentication technologies that are compatible with ASTM standards.

Identity and Authentication is a critical component of the drone / unmanned aviation ecosystem. You need to understand the basics of enabling this, once you do you will be able to automate to a large extent the orchestration of identity among the different stakeholders in the ecosystem: law enforcement, USS Service providers, remote id display providers etc.
