Frequentis Details UTM System for Beyond Visual Line of Sight Drone Flights

Frequentis AG, a provider of air traffic management solutions, has elaborated on its Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) system, emphasizing its foundational role for flights conducted Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS).

The company's insights, shared through an interview with Commercial UAV News, highlight how UTM systems are essential for managing the increasing volume and complexity of drone traffic. BVLOS operations allow for extended range and more diverse applications for drones, but necessitate advanced safety and control protocols.

Frequentis has been developing solutions designed to integrate with existing air traffic surveillance systems. These systems are intended to ensure flight safety and efficient traffic management, even in congested airspace.

The expansion of BVLOS capabilities is seen as critical for unlocking the full potential of drone technology in sectors such as logistics, inspection, and public safety. Frequentis's UTM approach aims to address these evolving requirements for unmanned aerial systems.
