ATC Position Reports for Unmanned Aircraft (UA)

For Phase II, Kutta leverages its experience in developing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) flight certifiable software and hardware to build an Air Traffic Control Reporting Schema (ATC-RS) solution. The resulting product provides real-time UAS position reports on the battlefield and in the National Airspace (NAS). The innovative ATC-RS product will assist the Air Force in increasing airspace utilization and situational awareness for all airborne assets – especially small UAS. Kutta’s ATC-RS is a complete UAS position reporting product for the Air Force and commercial market. The ATC-RS includes the ability to report UAS position in three different methods using multiple messaging standards. The ATC-RS combination of military and civilian reporting schemas meets current and future Battlespace and NAS integration requirements. Kutta specifically focused the ATC-RS on the reporting needs of the Small UAS (SUAS) that are currently operating in theater and by designing the ATC-RS to meet the needs of the these highly mobile operators. At the end of the Phase II, Kutta delivers a lightweight, rugged, and mobile ATC-RS with open Interface Control Documents (ICD) to facilitate integration into any UAS and Air Traffic Control system, and that can deliver UAS position reports from anywhere in the world.
