Description

UAM Blockchain Platform {URBAN AIR MOBILITY BLOCKCHAIN PLATFORM} The present invention relates to a UAM blockchain platform, and more particularly to a UAM blockchain platform for identifying and tracking the trajectory of an Air Vehicle (UAM) in a UAM operating environment based on Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). In the past, there were limitations in the accuracy and reliability of location tracking due to the limitations of air vehicle tracking technology and operations within a restricted environment in three-dimensional space, such as terrain and obstacles. Furthermore, existing aircraft reservation and payment systems operate in a centralized manner, raising concerns regarding personal information protection and security issues, which has resulted in difficulties in aircraft identification and safe operation. To overcome these limitations and establish a modern aviation operating system, we have developed an innovative UAM blockchain platform capable of acquiring accurate location information of UAM air vehicles in conjunction with the latest satellite navigation technologies based on CNS ATM trajectory identification technology, such as WASS (Wide Area Augmentation System) or RTK (Relative Kinematic Positioning), and securely recording and managing this information through NFT (Non-Fungible Token)-based identification information and blockchain technology. 'CNS ATM' stands for 'Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance Air Traffic Management,' a concept used in air traffic management systems to efficiently manage air traffic by integrating aeronautical communication, navigation, and surveillance technologies. Among these, 'track identification technology' is a technology designed to ensure safe operation in space by accurately determining the position and identification information of an aircraft. CNS ATM track identification technology may include the following key elements. First, CNS ATM requires a robust navigation system to ensure that aircraft follow accurate flight paths and operate safely. For example, satellite navigation systems such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) can help accurately determine the aircraft's position. In addition, aircraft must communicate in real time with ground stations and other aircraft. Through this, they can exchange key information such as aircraft type, altitude, time, location, and fuel status, as well as auxiliary information such as route changes, weather information, and emergency situations; aviation communication can be conducted via wireless and wired communication. In addition, a surveillance system is required to monitor the position and movement of aircraft. Technologies such as radar, ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) or ADS-C (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract), and radar analysis systems are used to determine the aircraft's location and status in real time. In addition, in CNS ATM, each aircraft must be uniquely identifiable, and the aircraft can be accurately identified by utilizing the aircraft's registration number, flight plan information, and ADS-B or ADS-C data. The primary goal of CNS ATM flight path identification technology is to ensure that aircraft operate along accurate routes while maintaining safe distances. This facilitates smooth air traffic, minimizes the risk of mid-air collisions, and plays a key role in air traffic management and aviation safety. The UAM blockchain platform enables real-time communication between multiple nodes and UAM air vehicles, providing various functions such as location tracking, aircraft reservations, and payments. By leveraging decentralized blockchain technology and the characteristics of NFTs, this platform guarantees the safety and identifiability of aircraft, enhances the efficiency of aviation operating systems, and is expected to contribute to the realization of a safe urban air transport system.
