The demonstration set out to showcase how real-time tracking and controlling of multiple drones could help to bridge the gap between manned and unmanned airspace and ensure safe drone operations for all.
Yosuke Kaneko, head of UTM at Terra Drone, commented: “The
Taiwanese government realizes how important UTM is for safe and efficient drone
operations, and is exploring the possibility of deploying our UTM system in the
country.”
He added: “In the future, no country will allow drone
operations without knowing who is flying the drone and where.”
