Transitioning urban drone traffic management from expensive dedicated radar towers to shared 6G cellular infrastructure.
Reusing cellular telecom infrastructure eliminates the need for millions of dollars in municipal radar installations, providing ubiquitous urban surveillance at 10% of traditional cost.
Real-time cellular radar tracks stream directly into Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) discovery protocols via standardized OpenSky APIs.
A city-scale trial spanning 80 base stations tracked 240 concurrent drone flights with zero tracking losses and an average latency under 12 milliseconds.
