The AMC Portal as an ASM tool enables easy, fast, and secure access to airspace for a variety of state operations. One of the more important tasks and operations conducted in airspace is executed by the Orbiter 3 UAS operated by the military in support of civil state institutions. Due to its low speed and high endurance, the Orbiter 3 UAS requires relatively large areas of airspace for its operations. To avoid capacity shortfalls for civil traffic imposed by the large area occupied by the UAS, the area of operations is segmented in a number of smaller areas such as to/from corridors and the areas around points of interest. These areas are published as TRAs and available to other traffic when not occupied by UASs. The AMC Portal is a key enabler for the tactical management of area occupancy and proves to be a valuable tool for air traffic control and other stakeholders within concerned airspace. Using the AMC Portal System relaxes the restrictions associated with UAS operations without penalizing other traffic. The complexity of such operations from the ASM standpoint is too high and they cannot be executed without proper system support that makes the AMC Portal a valuable part of today’s ATM.
