The commercial drone industry, and BVLOS drone delivery, took a big step forward last week as officials demonstrated the first working UTM prototype in Singapore. U.S. company OneSky joined global technology firm Nova Systems on the project to provide advanced unmanned traffic management capabilities in Singapore’s unique urban environment.
“This brings to a close a two-year consortium project, led by Nova, and co-founded as part of the UAS Call-For-Proposals (CFP) by the Ministry of Transport (“
MOT”) and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (“
CAAS”). It marks a significant milestone in Singapore’s journey towards a future driven by UAS technology, as private and government sector stakeholders look deeper into the possibility of the large-scale, integrated deployment of such technology in Singapore’s unique urban environment,” says a consortium press release.
