[6.0] NASA to launch new air traffic management system for high-altitude flights — nasa.gov

NASA, along with AeroVironment and Aerostar, has introduced a new air traffic management system for high-altitude aircraft, called Upper-Class E traffic management (ETM). This system aims to enable safe operations above 60,000 feet, where no regulations currently exist.

Previously, high-altitude missions were managed manually and required air traffic control approval. The new ETM system allows aircraft to autonomously share their locations and flight plans, improving coordination and safety in the airspace.

A recent simulation demonstrated the ETM's effectiveness, allowing different high-altitude vehicles to operate together without needing air traffic control clearance. NASA plans to conduct real flight tests to further validate this innovative traffic management approach.
