The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
This document is dedicated to establishing a common understanding of UTM core functions and functional structure. It provides a detailed description of the UTM system layer given in the UTM Framework. This document excludes: - role-sharing among entities constituting UTM, which is left to implementations; - technical methodology of communication or data transaction among core functions; - business model of players engaging in a function of UTM.

This document defines the generic concept and common framework of unmanned aircraft system (UAS) remote identification, which is mainly used to electronically identify an in-flight unmanned aircraft (UA). This document sets the minimum performance standards for direct remote identification. This document does not cover requirements for modules installed in UA or requirements for network remote identification. This document does not cover the identity of other information technology (IT) entities, such as the station of the remote pilot, the workstation of the fleet manager or any other connected entity.

This document provides results of a survey on UTM which indicates aggregated data from survey respondents. It does not cover detailed analysis of regions and organizations. UTM is expected to reveal hundreds of commercial applications already in place, as well as social systems as their background conditions. The results can be used to analyze benefits and gaps for possible future standardization topics in consultation with authorities such as ICAO.
