You shouldn’t stack acronyms… although Linux might be.

NASA is proposing an air traffic control for drones, and it is pretty good. It ticks all the boxes for what you’d expect from a governmental infrastructure. However, it is missing the greater picture aspects of MapMerge, namely:

• permission to land on private property
• identification of drones
• depth of 3D-mapping to enable intricate journeys in cities

A commercial offering, that addresses real world needs (see above) will be realised quicker and cheaper. That doesn’t mean a commercial solution can’t merge with local government systems.
