How is the UTM Pilot Program (UPP) affiliated with the UTM Research Transition Team (RTT)?

An RTT was formed in 2015, comprised of FAA and NASA UAS experts to jointly develop and enable a UTM ecosystem to provide management services to support sUAS or drone operations. The UPP is a joint effort between the Concepts & Use Cases and the Data Exchange & Information Architecture RTT working groups to identify the initial set of industry and FAA capabilities required to support UTM operations. The UPP will provide an understanding of the level of investment required for implementation as well as guide the regulations and policies governing UTM operations.
