Abstract

Every aspect of our life depends on the ability to communicate effectively. Organizations that manage to establish communication routines, protocols and means thrive. An Aerial Traffic Management System operates similarly as an organization but certainly in a more strict manner. Third party agencies ensure several aspects of their functionality, the utmost to be consider safety. Many people take safety as granted but it is a pretty difficult part our daily functions. Thus, apart from digesting new things and habits of the new era, simultaneously we have to ensure safety in every part of it. It is true that the more data we produce, the more information we create and the more specialization we must introduce in order to be effective in a reasonable time basis. A Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) is a system that consists of miscellaneous modules where each of them needs its consideration regarding safety. In other words, a UTM is the state-of-the-art system that demand a high quality of services and specialization, if we need to consider them reliable.
