Poster: Is C-V2X the Future of Decentralized UAS Traffic Management?

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) have been proposed for a wide range of applications. UAS Traffic Management (UTM) is essential for managing UAS in the very low-level (VLL) airspace. This requires well-defined communication standards, protocols, and requirements to ensure safe and efficient operations. These protocols allow UASs to self-separate, avoid collisions, and facilitate real-time airspace monitoring by ground authorities. As part of the VEREDUS<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> project, we have designed and implemented a multi-link modem and routing algorithms to support reliable position sharing and enable UTM services. This paper presents the final outcome of the project, successfully demonstrating a functional system realized as an ad-hoc network using C-V2X.
