What is ISO 23629‑7 about?
ISO 23629 series discusses standards for UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) traffic management (UTM). ISO 23629‑7 specifies the data model that is related to various spatial information for the common use between the UAS service provider and the system for operation control, e.g. UTM.
ISO 23629‑7 specifies the names of the items for the data model.
ISO 23629‑7 specifies data model packages:
- Ground map package
- Obstacle data package
- Virtual data package
- Dynamic data package
Note: ISO 23629‑7 does not include the communication architecture and responsibilities of actors to define the items.
Who is ISO 23629‑7 for?
ISO 23629‑7 on UAS traffic management for spatial data is applicable to:
- Aircraft system operators
- UAS traffic management systems
- Spatial data providers
- Training personnel who involve in the operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)
- Space engineers
- Air traffic controlling agencies
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Aircraft manufacturing industries
Why should you use ISO 23629‑7?
In order to enable UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) to operate safely, there is a need to define the “data model” that is related to various spatial information for common use between the UAS operators and the UAS traffic management (UTM) system. ISO 23629‑7 provides you with complete guidance on overall data model including ground map package, obstacle data package, virtual data package, dynamic data package.
ISO 23629‑7 covers attributes of weather information that helps you for weather observation, forecast and warning. ISO 23629‑7 also covers flight route display information at pre-flight stage that helps you to display flight route on map of unmanned aircraft systems traffic management system (UTM), which confirms whether there are obstacles on the flight route.
ISO 23629‑7 provides information on UAS emergency landing area confirmation which confirms whether there are emergency landing areas near the flight route.
By implementing ISO 23629‑7 you can reduce cost in maintenance/expansion for application developers as well as compilation/maintenance of map data for map providers.
