Thales demonstrated its integrated UAV Traffic Management (UTM) and drone Remote Identification solutions for the first time in Taiwan, witnessed by Mr. Wang, Kwo-Tsai, Minister of Transportation and Communications, and key delegations from Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA).
The successful drone flight took place in Hsinchu, Jianshi Township, as part of a project commissioned by Chunghwa Post and the Coretronic Intelligent Robotics Corporation (CIRC) on the study of logistics with remote UAVs.
Thales has supported the safety of Taiwan's civil airspace, supplying air traffic management systems and radars to CAA and ANWS for more than two decades. By combining its expertise in drones and UTM, Thales is ideally placed to support Taiwan's stakeholders as they manage UAVs in an increasingly complex airspace.
On 29 August 2022, Thales performed a real-time autonomous drone flight monitoring trial in Hsinchu, Jianshi Township, in the presence of Mr. Wang, Kwo-Tsai, Minister of Transportation and Communications, and key delegations from Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA). The trial showcased the Thales ScaleFlyt Remote Identification tracker affixed to a drone, under the management and monitoring of the Thales TopSky - UAS Traffic Management (UTM) solution.
The use of drones in Taiwan enables a wide range of use-cases and creates tremendous opportunities - from efficient goods distribution to maintenance, monitoring and labour management- but also brings the challenges of managing an increasingly complex urban airspace. UTM involves the safe and efficient integration of UAVs into civilian airspace. With the help of IoT technology, drone operators and civil aerospace authorities can precisely monitor unmanned air traffic in urban and rural areas securely and in real-time, while ensuring the safety and security of its citizens.
As part of a project from Chunghwa Post and the Coretronic Intelligent Robotics Corporation (CIRC) to establish a Logistics Supply Mechanism for Remote UAVs in Jianshi Township, Thales demonstrated its integrated UTM and Remote Identification technology for the first time in Taiwan. During this trial witnessed by key delegations from the Ministry of Transport and CAA, two drones from Coretronic equipped with the Thales ScaleFlyt Remote Identification tracker performed a flight taking off from the Jianshi Post Office in Hsinchu to a village 8.5km away from Jianshi township.
The demonstration showcased various real-life and stress-test flight scenarios, including geofencing and mission deviations and was monitored in real-time using Thales' TopSky - UAS Airspace Manager UTM solution. TopSky enables safe Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) autonomous drone operations and guarantees that drones comply to regulations in force and to stipulated flight plans, thereby giving operators access to a safe and secure low altitude airspace.
The drones were identified and their positions monitored in real-time with the Thales ScaleFlyt Remote Identification tracker. Weighing less than 70 grams and featuring the Network remote ID function through LTE-M / 2G, the RemoteID acts as a beacon, allowing authorities to identify, monitor and track the drones in operation, in real time. Fitted to a drone, the tracker is the most visible asset of a complete IoT ecosystem featuring a cloud-based web server access and a mobile application so drone operators can register their drones and also track their own fleet of UAS in real time. All communications are end-to-end cyber-secured, guaranteeing privacy.
In Taiwan, Thales will also establish a drone control centre in Thales' office in Neihu, which will simulate the environment and functionality of a UTM Centre.
Thales is a leading expert in drones' management, having demonstrated and implemented UTM solutions in various countries such as Australia, France and the United States.
Many governments are currently developing regulations that require drones to be equipped with remote identification capabilities, while also managing the safety of an increasingly congested civil airspace. As the incumbent Air Traffic Management supplier in Taiwan, Thales is currently helping ANWS manage over 70 percent of Taiwan's civilian airspace. Our extensive expertise in air traffic management coupled with our understanding of unmanned systems puts us in a leading position to support the Civil Aeronautics Administration and ANWS as they drive Taiwan's ambitions in the unmanned airspace sector. Alain CORREIA, Chairman and CEO, Thales in Taiwan
