R&D Item 1: Development of Performance Evaluation Methods

(1) Development of method for evaluating performance of UAS (by consignment)

We will develop methods and procedures for appropriately evaluating and certifying the performance of unmanned aircraft/components, and peripheral technology, particularly for recognizing Class 1 aircraft as defined in the Civil Aeronautics Act.

(2) Development of method for evaluating performance of UAM vehicles (by consignment)

We will develop methods and procedures for appropriately evaluating and certifying the performance of unmanned aircraft/components, and peripheral technology in order to certify the airworthiness of UAM vehicles.

(3) Development of method for evaluating safety that enables one-to-many drone operation (by consignment)

We will formulate safety evaluation methods based on a summarization of risk assessment methods and other procedures necessary for enabling one-to-many drone operation by referring to flight PoC examples under Paragraph (4) of R&D Item 1.

(4) Development of constituent technologies for aircraft and systems that enable one-to-many drone operation (by subsidization)

We will develop constituent technologies for aircraft and systems to enable one-to-many drone operation, and conduct PoC of Category III and II flight of one-to-many drones.

R&D Item 2: Development of Traffic Management Technology

Study, research and development (by consignment) of optimal sharing of airspace among UAS, UAM, and existing aircraft

We will develop integrated traffic management technology for sharing airspace at low altitudes among UAS, UAM, and existing aircraft. Specifically, the architecture design will be based on a survey of trends outside of Japan and discussions among public and private councils in Japan on how flight traffic should be managed to enable airspace sharing, and the traffic management system will be designed through the use of simulators, PoC, and other means. We will also develop collision avoidance technologies using unmanned traffic management and sensors; verify the establishment of an ecosystem through operational PoCs and other means; and to support future automatic and autonomous flight operations and high-density traffic, we will develop communications, navigation, and monitoring technologies, and other technologies that support flight operations such as ground system, infrastructure, and data provision.
