There was a problem hiding this comment.
We probably want to be more specific, because both ADSB and UTM come into PX4 as MAVLink messages - Air Traffic Avoidance: MAVLink UAS Traffic Management (UTM)
But let's just hold this as an open issue until we know more about UTM

I updated to just be UTM.

This looks really good ... as far as it goes.
To complete this we need to explain how a UTM system is supposed to work (by comparison with the ADSB docs I know that I will get the messages from an ADSB transponder, which in turn gets them from light aircaft).
That should cover both how the messages get into the system, and presumably, how/what is used to broadcast them.
@bkueng @julianoes Do you know/can you recommend someone to explain how a UTM avoidance system works? What is supposed to send these messages - e.g. Is there a UTM transponder device? Is it that all UAVs in an area are supposed to set up a mavlink network to share their position with each other?

@ItsTimmy I assume Lorenz means he'll work you through it :-). Suggest you take a photo of that whiteboard. Probably you don't need me there too, but if you decide you do, early mornings my time are best. |

@ItsTimmy @LorenzMeier Did you get a chance to have a whiteboard session about UTM "how it should work"? #527 (review) |

Merging. More work can be done, but this is still useful. |
