UK lays world's longest autonomous drone superhighway
The Skyway won't just be an air corridor designated for drone use: It will be lined with ground infrastructure from Altitude Angel known as ARROW, which serves as a larger traffic coordination system.in a smaller deployment south of Reading, ARROW will establish a 500-meter wide"drone zone" along the Skyway that extends the abilities of autonomous drones to detect and avoid other unmanned aircraft flying the same path.
Because drones have a wide array of communications capabilities, the Skyway will be outfitted with ground-based sensors and communication hardware that coordinates with onboard drone sensors to feed air traffic control data to autonomous aircraft as they fly. The system will be managed, appropriately, by an automated traffic management system.
"Any drone manufacturer [can] connect a drone's guidance and communication systems into a virtual superhighway system which takes care of guiding drones safely through 'corridors', onward to their destinations, using only a software integration," Altitude Angel said.
