Argon Server is a backend / data-processing engine to stand up standards-compliant UTM services that adhere to the latest regulations on UTM / U-Space in the EU and other jurisdictions. Specifically, it gives you:
- an open source Remote ID "service provider" compatible with ASTM Remote ID standard, it comes with Flight Spotlight a opensource remote ID Display Application as well.
- an open source implementation of the ASTM USS <-> USS standard and compatible with the EU U-Space regulation for flight authorisation
- ability to interact with
interuss/dssor similar interoperability software to exchange data with other UTM implementations - ability to consume geo-fences per the ED-269 standard
- basic monitoring of conformance and operator notifications
- a flight traffic feed aggregator that has different modules that can process and relay data around flights and airspace: geo-fence, flight declarations, air-traffic data.
There are different modules that enable this:
- DSS Connectivity: There are modules to connect and read for e.g. Remote ID data from a DSS, Strategic deconfliction / flight authorization
- Flight Tracking: It takes in flight tracking feeds from various sources e.g. ADS-B, live telemetry, Broadcast Remote ID and others and outputs as a single fused JSON feed and submits it to a Display Application to be shown in real-time on a display
- Geofence: A Geofence can be submitted into Argon Server and consequently transmitted to Spotlight
- Flight Declaration: Future flights up-to 24 hours can be submitted, this support both the ASTM USS <-> USS API and can also be used as a standalone component, for supported DSS APIs see below
- Network Remote-ID : The Network RID module is compliant with ASTM standards for Network RID and can be used as a "display provider" or as a "service provider"
- Operator Notifications: Using a AMQP queue you can send notifications to the operator
- Conformance Monitoring (beta): Monitory trajectory / flight path against the declared 4D Volume
Follow our 5-step process to deploy Argon Server and get started with the basic concepts of the software.
Read the ⏲️ 20-minute quickstart now!
- To begin, review the API Specification to understand the endpoints and the kind of data that you can set in Argon Server.
- Then take a look at some data formats: Flight tracking data. This file follows the format as specified in the Air-traffic data protocol
Take a look at sample data below to see the kind of data that can be submitted in Argon Server
- Area of Interest as a GeoJSON
- Geofence as a GeoJSON, we have converters to convert EuroCAE from ED-269 standard
- Flight Declaration. This file follows the format specified in Flight Declaration Protocol, optionally when using DSS components it supports "operational intent" APIs.
