UTM concept demonstrations in Fukushima; requirements for UAS-port operation with different UAS operators

In the future society, where small unmanned aerial systems (sUASs) are used in many commercial domains such as delivery services, operations of a kind of port systems, where different sUAS operators use with beyond line of sight, can be found. The authors of this paper investigated safety requirements for such a port and demonstrated a concept at the sUAS flight demonstration conducted by the Japan Unmanned System Traffic & Radio Management Consortium in October 2017 in which about 120 flights were made with 20 small sUAS including one simulated sUAS under a traffic management.
