This paper presents concepts, policies, industry trends, and related issues in urban air mobility (UAM). UAM will contribute to transportation by mitigating traffic congestion and environmental problems in the future. Accordingly, governments of major countries are promoting UAM policies and demonstration projects as well as preparing laws and certification standards. In UAM, overseas startups lead airframe developments, and major companies from the aircraft, automotive, and information technology industries are also participating. In addition, startups and major companies are building the corresponding infrastructure. For the development of UAM, issues related to technology, regulation systems, and infrastructure still need to be resolved.

The Korean government and industry have presented a roadmap for the commercialization of UAM services and are promoting it in earnest. In order to introduce full-scale UAM services, there are various issues to be solved, such as the development of high-performance aircraft, the design of network bases and corridors, the optimization of operation management, and the establishment of related laws and systems. In this study, in terms of optimizing operation management, we will examine research trends by field, focusing on Korea, and derive research topics that need to be solved in the future. Korean researchers have suggested that research is centered on UAM service usage fees, usage intentions and acceptance models, and vertiport location selection, but operational optimization studies such as service order acceptance, aircraft repositioning, and battery charging and maintenance scheduling are needed in the future.

Urban air mobility (UAM) shows great promise for commercialization, yet the technical foundations for ensuring safety in large-scale operations remain a challenge. The purpose of this paper was to analyze current air traffic conflict management techniques in order to develop strategies for implementing strategic conflict management within UAM traffic management systems. We found that UAM conflict management can benefit from demand and capacity balancing techniques, and a system-wide approach is essential. Specifically, the use of data sharing and probabilistic methods is essential for addressing flight time uncertainty and large-scale UAM operations effectively.

Despite the recent short history of drones, the applying field of drones has been used for various purposes in a wide variety of areas and fields. As such, with the emergence of various types of drones over the years, in a broad sense, a remote controlled mobile object that can be controlled by wired and wireless control may be a suitable definition for drone because of various types of drones in recent years. This paper aims to help readers who want to research, develop, and use drones by examining the history, application fields, and future prospects of drones, including Unmanned Surface Vehicle(USV) and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles(UUV), as well as aerial type drones. Through this paper, it is expected that these drones will continue to be used in various fields in the future, and the prospect of future development will continue constantly. However, for the development of domestic drone technology and industry, the government's improvement in drone-related regulations should be supported.
