Australian researchers are preparing to demonstrate by year-end an automated separation management system (ASMS) they hope will allow manned and unmanned aircraft to share large and complex regions of airspace.

Reece Clothier of the Australian Research Centre for Aerospace Automation (ARCAA) says ASMS flight-testing at Kingaroy in Queensland so far indicated that "the system is capable of handling far more complicated scenarios than we initially expected".
