ATM, or "air traffic management", is a generic term used in the aviation industry to summarize all systems that are required for the coordination of air traffic. This includes, among other things:
Air traffic services
Air traffic control
Airspace management
Air traffic flow
Capacity
The aim of ATM is to enable smooth, safe and economical air traffic in all phases of a flight. Air traffic management is used for all manned aircraft, whether passenger or cargo flights.
UTM - Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management
UTM - Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Traffic Management describes a system that manages the harmonization between the ATM and UAS - Unmanned Aircraft System (mainly drones).
A UTM serves as a safety system for drones in airspace. The system functions fully automatically and has the following features:
Central database: All registered UAS, drone operators or geographical conditions are stored here
Mapping/ cartography: Airspace representation with topography, satellite images and road maps. No-fly zones and other airspaces are also displayed.
Positioning and flight tracking: Precise positioning, for example via mobile radio or transponder. In addition, the drone is continuously recorded and coordinated with other flying objects (manned and unmanned) to prevent flying accidents.
Mission data processing: Recording the flight plans, including the take-off location, take-off time, flight route and planned landing location. The UTM system uses this data to check whether the flight plan complies with all the rules.
Environmental data: Display of weather conditions. The environmental data records the magnetic radiation, which in turn can affect the GPS connection.
Safety functions: Using the data collected from the previous functions, the UTM system can detect conflicts at an early stage and prevent them by possibly changing the flight plan.
Mission planning: Based on the flight planning and the conflicts identified, the UTM system determines which flight path changes need to be made in order to resolve the conflicts.
Planned: Conflict detection and conflict avoidance: In future, the UTM system is to automatically transmit conflict avoidance (including flight plan changes) to the drone in question.
With the help of this technology, drones are to be smoothly integrated into general ATM in the future. Benefit from our expertise and find out how you can successfully launch your own drone or drone application.

Supplying the East Frisian Islands is very challenging due to the natural conditions. More than half of the East Frisian Islands are tide-dependent, which means that passage by ship is limited in time. In this respect, drones are independent, fast and cost-effective.
Delivery drones - great potential on the East Frisian Islands
The transportation of goods with the help of drones is very popular with pharmacists, for example. In the fall of 2014, deliveries by drone from the mainland to the East Frisian island of Juist were extensively tested. It turned out that the drones were particularly reliable, especially for deliveries at short notice. In emergencies, people on the island could be quickly supplied with important medicines, demonstrating the enormous potential of drones. Although a drone with a transport weight of around 1.2 kilograms was not yet able to supply the entire island, it was able to help very well in important situations. The integration of drones into the existing delivery traffic on the East Frisian Islands is therefore conceivable.
The German Parcel and Express Logistics Association also believes that this solution makes sense. Above all because the drones are ready for take-off within a very short time and are cheaper than a ship or helicopter. Especially as fixed delivery routes between packing stations of the German parcel service DHL already exist and work in China. In order to minimize the use of resources, the drones are loaded and unloaded completely autonomously. DHL has already announced further development and expansion. A customized logistics solution like this could therefore soon also exist for the East Frisian Islands.
The Bremen-based company b.r.m. offers extensive tests on the use of drones. IT & Aerospace. Our own drone test center Hatten-UAS at the airfield Oldenburg-Hatten EDWH with an adjacent test flight area of over 3600 km², which extends from Hatten to the North Sea, the East Frisian Islands and Helgoland, lay the foundation for your test campaigns. If you are interested or have questions about our projects, please contact Mr. Markus Rossol.
C-class drones are a category of drones that are mainly used for recreational purposes or low-risk commercial activities. The C-class is therefore also known as the open class.
Here are the selected properties of the various C-classified drones (C0-C6):
C0: Drones with a take-off weight of less than 250 grams. Toy drones also belong to the C0 class in the EU. No papers or requirements needed
C1: All drones that do not fall into the C0 category and have a take-off weight of less than 900 grams. Licenses are required for this.
C2: All drones that do not belong to C0 and C1 and have a take-off weight of less than 4 kilograms. Licenses are required for this
C3: All drones that do not fall into C0, C1 or C2 and have a take-off weight of less than 25 kilograms. To use C3 drones, they must have a system for geosensitization and remote identification, just as for classes C1 and C2. Licenses are also required.
C4: All drones that do not fall into C0, C1, C2 or C3 and do not exceed 25 kg take-off weight. However, no systems for c or remote identification must be present here. Which is why many model aircraft are assigned to this class. Licenses are required.
C5: Modified drones of class C3, which do not have an adjustable altitude limit or geosensitization. Flying is only possible at special UAS.STS-01 sites or in the special category.
C6: Modified drones of class C3, which do not have an adjustable altitude limit or geosensitization. In contrast to class C5, class C6 can also be powered by other types of propulsion. Flying is only permitted in the special category or at UAS.STS-02 sites.
Furthermore, Class C drones are classified into different operating categories:
A1: Flying is permitted near people but not over a gathering of people. Related categories: C0 and C1
A2: Flying at a medium distance from people. Related categories: C2
A3: Flying only permitted far away from people. Related categories: C3 and C4

Content: We in Bremen have been familiar with airplanes, both large and small, not just since the Focke-Wulf company launched them 100 years ago. But for some years now, new elements have been entering the airspace under the term "drones", opening up new possibilities in aviation, but also requiring new approaches. In the panel discussion, we will talk about the use and benefits of drones, about large test fields where the interaction of manned and unmanned aircraft can be trained, and about air cabs, both old and new.
Panel guests:
Harald Rossol - Founder of b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH, applicant for a "U Space Service Provider USSP", initiator of "Advanced Air Mobility Nord-West AAM NW" with a drone test area in the German Bight
Dr. Martin Nägele - Managing Director OptoPrecision, including sensor and drone production
Gregor Müller - Managing Director MD Aircraft GmbH, production and maintenance of gliders and small aircraft, planned production of an all-electric feeder aircraft
Moderation: Prof. Rolf Henke, Aviation Coordinator of the State of Bremen
A century of aircraft construction in Bremen! A lot has happened since Henrich Focke, Georg Wulf and their commercial manager Dr. Werner Naumann established Focke-Wulf Flugzeugwerke 100 years ago. Aircraft have developed rapidly. Aviation was joined by space travel in the 1960s. The fascination of flying continues to this day. As part of the lecture series "100 years of aircraft construction in Bremen", renowned experts will talk about the past, present and future of the industry, about their own experiences and their expectations for the future, about their historical findings and will immerse themselves in the philosophical and literary world of "human flight". Let yourself be captivated by the everlasting fascination of flying!
The ILA 2024 in Berlin is from Wednesday, June 5, 2024 to Sunday, June 9, 2024.
b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH is part of the Bremen network at CHALET EAST 22 - 24 and we look forward to meeting you there.
A cheerful "Moin Moin" from the joint stand of the State of Bremen (Hall 2 Stand 309) from b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH. Together with other companies from Bremen, we share great experiences from this year's AERO in Friedrichshafen. So here are our great impressions.
We look forward to your visit to the AERO and the Bremen joint stand in Hall 2 Stand 309, where Mr. Harald Rossol and Mr. Markus Rossol will be waiting for you.
As part of the Bremen Bremerhaven City of Aerospace innovation cluster, the state of Bremen successfully supports companies and research institutions in the development and application of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Expertise has been built up in the development and production of hardware and software systems, aircraft design, avionics, navigation and sensor technology. At the same time, the focus is on applications of UAS for the fulfillment of a wide range of tasks, such as the execution of sovereign tasks in the German
Bay through the use of drones as carriers of sensor technology or the establishment of ground stations for UAS. With the support of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Initiative Nordwestdeutschland and Deutsche Bucht & UAS-Leitstelle Bremen (USSP), the state of Bremen will promote the further development of the UAS activities of the stakeholders based in the state in collaboration with
Lower Saxony further.

In terms of population, Bremen has the highest employment density in these sectors in Germany. Future-oriented jobs, especially for highly qualified people, characterize the aerospace industry
and the aviation sector. Cutting-edge research in the state of Bremen provides sustainable support for industry in areas such as materials science and production technologies, space systems, remote sensing, bionics and robotics.
ADVANCED AIR MOBILITY INITIATIVE
OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
The aim of the initiative (AAM-NW) is the successive development of airspace structures within which the operation of UAS is considerably simplified and automated and safety is increased, taking into account all relevant airspace users. The aim is to gather experience for the creation of future highly automated operating strategies by linking and integrating UAS Traffic Management (UTM) into existing Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems.
The state of Bremen, with the focus on the UAS control center, and the state of Lower Saxony, with the focus on the flight areas and aeronautical infrastructures, are cooperatively involved here to support the joint upgrading of the airspace for Advanced Air Mobility.
The main players in this project are: Aviaspace Bremen e.V., b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH, Droniq GmbH, Flugplatz Oldenburg-Hatten GmbH, Flugschule Borkum GmbH, Fraunhofer IFAM, Offshore-Drone-Campus-Cuxhaven (ODCC), Optoprecision GmbH.
In addition, the group of affected stakeholders now comprises over 200 players who are involved in the overall project in various ways.
Furthermore, the other northern German federal states (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein) will be integrated in an additive manner, i.e. the planned federal states will develop suitable structures in parallel in order to cooperate with AAM-NW at a later date.
INTRODUCTION
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is primarily understood to mean the integration of unmanned or autonomous aircraft into a common airspace with manned aviation, which offers the possibility of "connecting both metropolitan and rural regions quickly, safely, sustainably and affordably, independently of existing ground-based transport infrastructures".1 However, smaller UAS2 are also suitable for taking on certain monitoring and transport tasks, particularly in rural regions.
The German Bight, its islands and neighboring coastal countries offer great potential for testing the operational processes of unmanned aviation with initially lower-risk missions and (smaller) aircraft out of sight and integrating them step by step into existing manned aviation. Particular attention must also be paid to shipping and nature conservation in the German Bight.
A successively accumulated wealth of experience through regular UAS operation allows the continuous testing of operational arrangements up to the highly automated coordination of flight movements by a central control center and at the same time promotes confidence in this new technology. This is where the project comes in. Subsequently, the generated know-how will be transformed into areas and missions with higher risk, e.g. in urban areas, higher payloads and also people on board.
TIME HORIZON AND EXPANSION STAGES
Common to all phases is the successive development of the corresponding BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) flight areas. The focus here is on the use and illumination of the very low level airspace (VLL). For the respective expansion stages, coverage by the air situation picture is to be achieved and successively expanded. The corresponding visibility of manned general aviation, air rescue, authorities and organizations with security tasks (BOS) and UAS in BVLOS and VLOS (visual line of sight) operations must be mutually ensured, tested and verified. Especially as these activities require a test operation prior to real operation.
Phase 0 - 2023 Preliminary work of the initiative: Compilation and integration of all relevant airspace participants
Phase 1 - 2024: BVLOS areas Hatten - German Bight incl. trial operation (red map area)
Phase 2 - 2024-2025: BVLOS areas Cuxhaven & Helgoland incl. connection to phase 1 incl. trial operation (blue and green map area)
Phase 3 - 2026-2028: Expansion and connection of further airfields such as East Frisian Islands, Leck and Nordholz incl. trial operation (yellow map area) "From separation to integration"
Phase 4 - Vision 2030 Further development in the respective built-up U-Space(s) towards a seamless connection to the "U4" of the SESAR ATM master plan from 2035 onwards
UAS CONTROL CENTER BREMEN (USSP)
Whether for industrial, university, government, security or civilian purposes: the use of
The number of drones will rise sharply in the coming years and will very likely even exceed the volume of manned air traffic. Coordination requires centralized bodies that can initiate collision avoidance and corresponding evasion procedures for unmanned aviation. The EU DVO 2021/664ff provides for a USSP (USSP = U-Space Service Provider), which provides aeronautical services (e.g. flight permits and activation) digitally for drone operators. To enable the AAM NW to contribute to the digital transformation of aviation in this sense, the establishment of a UAS control center (USSP) is planned from Bremen. This control center can protect manned aviation during urgently required missions in VLL airspace through real-time coordination and at the same time open up airspace utilization potential for unmanned aviation.
The workshop "Advanced Air Mobility Initiative Northwest Germany and German Bight (formerly U-Space Northwest)" will take place at IFAM (Frauenhofer) today, April 11, starting at 10:00 am.
Participation takes place in presence as well as via online participation.
Mr. Harald Rossol and Mr. Markus Rossol are present.
