Thales and Norwegian air navigation services provider and airport operator Avinor have partnered to implement Norway’s next-generation nationwide Uncrewed Traffic Management (UTM) system, providing airspace management for both uncrewed and crewed aircraft while ensuring full compliance with European regulatory standards.
Thales’ Topsky – UAS, powered by AstraUTM, will provide a scalable, automated platform for real-time traffic management, compliance monitoring, and safe integration of uncrewed aircraft and future advanced air mobility operations nationwide.
The UTM system will manage air traffic in the vicinity of airports and metropolitan, suburban, and regional areas, offering capabilities such as compliance monitoring, authorisation management, real-time decision-making, continuous airspace surveillance, automated conflict resolution, and rapid response to dynamic conditions. It will integrate access services such as the Common Information Service (CIS) and U-space Service Provider (USSP) provisions, ensuring regulatory compliance in U-space designated airspaces.
Avinor’s new UTM system aims to provide essential services for various stakeholders, including drone operators, air traffic service providers, government agencies, and other low altitude airspace key players. Thales says that the system will “meet regulatory standards as specified in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/664, alongside the Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material for U-space management, ensuring that all services meet the highest standards of safety and operational transparency”.
The new UTM system supports Norway’s vision for uncrewed aviation. Ultimately, it is expected to deliver advanced real-time data sharing, streamlined and automated airspace access, and enhanced situational awareness to enable operations at scale in Norway’s dynamic airspace environment for all operators.
