FAQ n.143018

Four mandatory services are to be provided by USSPs to UAS operators:

• UAS flight authorization: every flight in a U-space airspace must be authorized in order to be conducted safely, and not conflicting with other manned and unmanned aircraft;
• Geo-awareness: provides UAS operators with the information about the latest U-space airspace constraints and geo-zones;
• Network identification: provides users with live flight data of each unmanned aircraft flying in the U-space airspace;
• Traffic information: this service provides information on the position of manned aircrafts.

Two additional services may be provided:

• Weather information: provides weather information to UAS operators;
• Conformance monitoring:  this service alerts other U-space users of non-conformance conditions (e.g. non-authorised flight or deviations from the flight authorisation).
