„See and be Seen” Solutions for Drones

Abstract

The direct and indirect participants in air transport are today facing an increasing challenge. On the one hand, the number of commercial and cargo aircraft flights is increasing year on year and, on the other hand, the presence of unmanned aircraft is on the rise, posing a major challenge to air traffic control and to aircraft operators. In order to be able to fly safely in a given airspace segment, these aircraft, which can be ‚piloted’ in two ways, need to know who is flying and what they are flying, their heading, altitude, etc. This is helped by systems such as FLARM; ADS-B; OGN; Remote ID. The main purpose of using these systems is to make the aircraft concerned visible to other air traffic participants, including air traffic control services and the authorities.
