Abstract— As the governing body of flight operations in the highly anticipated emergent area of Upper Class E airspace (60,000 ft and above), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has recognized the potential for a possible extensible traffic management system for new entrants into this domain. Following the success with the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Traffic Management (UTM) program, the FAA put forth an initial concept of operations for supporting the start of the Upper Class E Traffic Management (ETM). Like UTM, ETM is envisioned to be a community-based, industry-driven cooperative management concept. However, tailoring it to be adaptable to the atmospheric communication, navigation, and surveillance deficits, as well as the diverse vehicle and mission profiles that operate in the ETM environment, will be the challenge. |
