Background to the UKADS.
Why the UKADS is needed It has become clear that the challenges of today’s airspace change model risk the delivery of much-needed modernisation: the complex nature of UK airspace, particularly in the London area neighbouring airports, each having their own requirements, proposing and funding individual airspace change proposals where the airspace designs are interdependent dispersed and scarce expertise in the industry sometimes leading to inconsistent standards and variable quality in airspace change proposal submissions increasing demand from new or developing types of airspace user (such as drones, aerial taxis, high-altitude platforms, space launch) to have routine access to an integrated airspace for all users, but no obvious sponsor to take forward or fund any changes to the airspace design needed to accommodate them.

Problem statement
UAM operations flying in close proximity to other low flying traffic
(such as remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) operations and
helicopters) may increase the inherent risk of mid-air collision and
other accidents induced by loss of control or taking avoiding action.
