This standard establishes and formalizes the core vocabulary that underpins businesses and services conducted in the airspace below 1000 m above ground (Low-Altitude Economy). The standard defines key concepts such as airspace classifications, vehicle categories such as unmanned aerial vehicles and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, operational modes such as visual line-of-sight and beyond-visual-line-of-sight, service segments such as logistics, inspection and emergency response, digital infrastructure elements such as unmanned traffic management and remote identification, and related domain-specific terms. It also includes terminology for consumer grade platforms and sensors as well as smart infrastructure components such as intelligent geofencing and data driven traffic management services.
