GM1 Article 7(2) U-space service providers

ED Decision 2022/022/R

CONNECTIVITY

Regulation (EU) 2021/664 assumes that the U-space is a connected environment. A connected environment refers to any digital connection that meets the requirements established by the USSP for the provision of the U-space services in question. A connected environment is not restricted to internet-based connectivity, although the vast majority of connections between a USSP and a UAS operator are expected to be internet based.

Therefore:

(a)     U-space information is exchanged in a machine-readable format to support the necessary exchange of data among the U-space actors concerned; and

(b)     operations in the U-space airspace require the UAS operator to establish a connection to a USSP.
