A “UAM Forum” has emerged in which industry-academic-research-government-gun participates and cooperates. Moon Woo-chun, chairman of the UAM Forum, was appointed as chairman.
UAM refers to urban air mobility and is attracting attention as a means to solve traffic problems in the city, such as cargo drones and air taxis.
The inaugural meeting, which was held from 2 p.m. on the 3rd with the conference room of the Daejeon headquarters of the Korea Railroad Corporation and an online Zoom meeting, was organized by the Korea Unmanned Mobile Research Association and the Korea Information and Communication Technology Association.
