The Urban Air Mobility Center of Moscow held a competition for the best technical solution for a drone air traffic management system in the metropolis. The winner was the "Jupiter" complex from Rostec's subsidiary, Azimuth.
The "Jupiter" urban air mobility automation complex is based on the Rosaviation-certified "Galaktika" air traffic management solution, which is already successfully operating in regions of Russia and abroad. "Jupiter" can simultaneously control up to 4,000 drones in the air and 6,000 flight plans. It is not limited in its geography of application.
For its operation, "Jupiter" uses specialized data processing algorithms from traditional observation sources, satellite and 4G/5G trackers, radars, and ground-based drone control stations. It interacts with the subsystems of the Unified Air Traffic Management System, authorized structures, and digital platforms of information service providers.
"Jupiter" is planned to be supplemented in terms of processing 4D trajectories, preventing conflicts in the air, collecting statistics, and assessing the quality of drone piloting.
In the future, this will allow the development of unified echeloning standards and requirements for drones to be allowed to fly over various territories. All new solutions will be fully compatible with the created Unified Integrated System for Planning the Use of Airspace by the operational bodies of the Unified Air Traffic Management System.
Earlier in early December, it became known that the Ministry of Economic Development proposes to make Moscow the flagship for the development of unmanned aircraft systems, and introduce a special experimental legal regime for the use of drones in the city. It will be valid for three years.
Drones will be able to deliver cargo weighing from 0.1 to 100 kg and perform a number of other tasks for residents and visitors of the capital. For example, aerial photography will be allowed with their participation: from aerial photography to television and film projects. And utilities will involve fewer people in work related to land reclamation, application of liquid agrochemicals and bulk substances, detoxification of closed water bodies, and aerial distribution of biological objects. These will be performed by UAVs.
