Review Quotes:
"Michael Scott Baum took a UTM raw diamond, cut and polished it, and then explored every facet in detail. Information is sourced from the true industry experts who are building, integrating, and standardizing UTM across the world. Multiple, sometimes opposing, viewpoints are given to give the reader an understanding of the complexity of this nascent field and the directions in which it may evolve."
Andrew Carter, ResilienX, USA
"This book is a must-read for UTM professionals and enthusiasts alike. Mr. Baum gives an in-depth, comprehensive understanding on a rapidly developing space. With a focus on understanding the basics, the book provides a terrific introduction to the concept and field of UTM."
Hrishikesh Ballal, Openskies Aerial Technology Ltd., Ireland
"Michael has been able to take a pick apart the relevant elements of UTMS, which is a highly complex subject, and brought it to life through extensive research. His expertise on the subject is truly highlighted throughout the chapters of this book. From the design phase with NASA, or first operations with the UAS Test Sites, Michael has walked the reader from the early development stages of UTM all the way through the initial implementation steps for all users."
