The emergence of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) or commonly known as drones is changing the way we configure and manage our skies. The drones with new shapes and capabilities operate at much lower altitudes, and the operations of these drones have multiplied by day. Therefore, an Air Traffic Management (ATM) System need to have another set of ATM called Unmanned Aircraft Traffic Management Systems or the UTMS. UTMS is therefore now a critical component to enabling these new aerial vehicles, i.e. the drones to safely enter and share the airspace.
