The result was something totally new: an automated, decentralized system capable of coordinating an ever-growing number of flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a brief look at how the NASA team worked with partners from commercial industry and the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, to invent a whole new type of air traffic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Year 1: Getting off the Ground<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The UTM team set a series of increasingly ambitious goals for managing drone traffic and spent the year between each step designing and developing the necessary technologies. They called these four annual targets \u201ctechnical capability levels,\u201d or TCLs. The UTM research really got off the ground in August 2015 with the first annual flight test, TCL1, at NASA\u2019s Ames Research Center in California\u2019s Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team looked at ways drones could be used for rural operations within the pilot\u2019s line of sight. The tests showed how drones flying in this setting could interact \u2013 with each other and the UTM software \u2013 as they performed different tasks. In the hypothetical scenario studied, one drone was taking photos of a wedding, while others surveyed a corn field. TCL1\u2019s technologies focused on \u201crules of the road\u201d for these aircraft, ways to schedule their flight plans, and geofencing, or designating a three-dimensional segment of the sky in which each drone flies.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-none \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"974\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"A person in silhouette, pointing up at a wall of screens displaying maps\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg 4815w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg?resize=300,143 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg?resize=768,365 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg?resize=1024,487 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg?resize=1536,730 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg?resize=2048,974 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg?resize=400,190 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg?resize=600,285 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg?resize=900,428 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg?resize=1200,570 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tcl1_107914_acd16-0061-011.jpg?resize=2000,951 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">A UTM team member monitors flight activities at six test sites across the country via the UTM platform, on April 19, 2016.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\"><strong><em>Credits: NASA Ames Research Center\/Dominic Hart<\/em><\/strong><\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The following April, UTM \u201cleft home\u201d and went for additional testing at six FAA sites around the country.
