The major goal of this exploratory project “Drone Zone Austria” is to design a web portal prototype as innovative contribution to air traffic management in order to support safe Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS, also known as unmanned aerial systems (UAS) or “drones”) mission planning. The web portal will provide a map-based representation of the legally defined 4 areas of operation for professional and recreational drone missions in Austria. Furthermore, it will include a flight plan safety check incorporating documentation functionality based on the requirements defined in the legal operation approval.
