Leading Names & Issues: Conference Programme Preview
Creating Space for New Users  

Read more below about Session Three of World ATM Congress' Conference Programme, "Creating Space for New Users," and see who is on the panel. Then view the full agenda online. Don't miss Session Three, from 9.15 - 10.30 on Wednesday, 9 March

Drones, remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), balloons, and commercial space vehicles are some of the multiple new users that are creating additional challenges to airspace management - from below, within, above, passing through, and even as undeliberate re-entries. Because they cannot be ignored or banned, the ATM industry needs to understand the unique opportunities and challenges that these users of rapidly developing new technology will bring. The opportunities and challenges of these small vehicles will be present in both currently controlled airspace and in Class G uncontrolled airspace.

What are the inevitable new requirements and new approaches/technologies from these new uses of airspace? How are we going to embrace change yet bring order into what might otherwise be chaos? How will current responsibilities and processes have to change? What should be the respective roles of regulators and airspace management?

Moderator: Marc Viggiano, President Emeritus, Saab Sensis Corporation, and CEO and Founder, Niteopark LLC
