AIRmarket and OneSky Complete ASTM-Compliant UTM Interoperability Demonstration in Canada
AIRmarket Inc and OneSky have successfully completed a UTM interoperability demonstration in Canada, validating compliance with the ASTM F3548 standard for Remote Traffic Management (RTM). The demonstration linked a Drone as a First Responder (DFR) operation in Strathcona County with a scheduled flight mission over downtown Edmonton, achieving automated flight information exchange and strategic deconfliction between two independent RTM providers.
Highlights
- AIRmarket Inc and OneSky successfully completed a UTM interoperability demonstration in Canada, validating compliance with the ASTM F3548 RTM interoperability standard.
- The demonstration linked a Drone as a First Responder (DFR) operation in Strathcona County with a scheduled flight over downtown Edmonton, with data exchanged via a Discovery and Synchronization Service (DSS).
- Strategic deconfliction was achieved automatically between two independent RTM providers, demonstrating real-time, seamless shared airspace coordination.
- The milestone is positioned as foundational infrastructure for Canada's next-generation airspace, supporting scalable BVLOS operations, DFR missions, and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM).
AIRmarket Inc has announced via LinkedIn that it has partnered with OneSky to successfully complete a UTM interoperability demonstration, validating compliance with ASTM F3548 — a key international standard for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Traffic Management (RTM) interoperability.
What the Demonstration Involved
The demonstration connected a Drone as a First Responder (DFR) operation in the Sherwood Park area of Strathcona County with a pre-planned flight mission over downtown Edmonton. Flight volume data was automatically exchanged via a Discovery and Synchronization Service (DSS), with strategic deconfliction completed at the planning level. The exercise showcased how two independent RTM providers can coordinate shared airspace in real time and without friction.
More Than a Technical Milestone
Both companies emphasized that the significance of this achievement extends well beyond the technical realm. AIRmarket stated:
"By successfully demonstrating automated flight intent sharing under the ASTM F3548 standard, AIRmarket and OneSky have shown that a collaborative, standards-based approach is essential for enabling safe and scalable BVLOS operations, drone first responder missions, and future Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) activities in Canada — while also helping to build the digital infrastructure underpinning Canada's next-generation airspace."
Industry Significance
ASTM F3548 is a critical international interoperability standard in the UTM sector. This demonstration proves that different system providers can achieve automated, standards-compliant data exchange — a finding with significant implications for advancing the commercialization of BVLOS drone operations and emergency response applications, both in Canada and globally.
