, “[Seoul=Newsis] Reporter Lee Yun-hee = The government plans to invest 100.7 billion won over three years in the development of core technologies for the Korean Urban Air Mobility (K-UAM) safety operation system.”,
,
, “The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 14th that it will embark on a core technology development project of this nature to prepare for the commercialization of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) in urban areas by 2030.”,
,
, “The K-UAM safety operation system core technology development project is one of the top ten national strategic technology projects of the current government, which passed a preliminary feasibility study for national research and development projects last August.”,
,
, “This project, with a total investment of 100.7 billion won including 80.3 billion won from the government and 20.4 billion won from the private sector, involves seven tasks in three strategic areas related to UAM:
▲ Navigation and traffic management technology
▲ Vertiport operation and support technology
▲ Safety certification technology. It includes 33 institutions from industry, academia, and research collaborating on this project.”,
,
, “The first phase of the project will run for three years until 2026, aiming to establish detailed design studies and performance goals and criteria. The second phase, scheduled for 2027 to 2028, will involve the development of prototype products and demonstration projects.”,
,
, “In the field of navigation and traffic management technology, which is crucial for safe UAM operations, tasks include developing flight information acquisition technology for UAM safe operations support, securing design technology for real-time and automated UAM air routes, advanced traffic management technology, and obtaining low-altitude urban weather observation and prediction technology.”,
,
, “In the field of vertiport operation and support technology that supports UAM takeoff and landing, there are two tasks: design of mobile modular vertiports and production of prototypes, and development of integrated vertiport operation and support systems.”,
,
, “The safety certification technology field focuses on developing aircraft certification technology standards to meet the urban operating environment of UAM, providing a direct foundation for the commercialization of UAM in Korea.”,
,
, “To ensure efficient operation of diverse technologies from various ministries and close coordination, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has established the ‘UAM National Strategic Technology Project Team’ within the Korea Transport Institute for Science and Technology Promotion, a research and development (R&D) specialized institution under the ministry, with Senior Researcher Kim Min-ki appointed as the head. The team will oversee and manage the project, and coordinate and collaborate with UTK(UAM Team Korea), a policy consultation body for industry, academia, research, and government related to UAM.”,
,
, ‘Jeon Hyeong-pil, Director of Mobility and Automotive Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, “It is important to secure core UAM technologies for the future commercialization of a new urban air transportation system, UAM. The government will actively support to create a new industrial ecosystem and seize leadership in the future UAM market.”‘,
