description Novel air traffic management (ATM) strategies are proposed through the Next Generation Air Transportation and Single European Sky for ATM Research projects to improve the capacity of the airspace and to meet the demands of the future air traffic. The implementation of the proposed solutions leads to increasing use of wireless data for aeronautical communications. Another emerging trend is the unmanned aerial vehicles. The unmanned aerial systems (UASs) need reliable wireless data link and dedicated spectrum allocation for its operation.
