The present document provides additional use cases of UAV and identifies potential requirements to improve 5G system's support of UAV applications, UAV operations and management, including:
- Provide additional information to the UAV operator/USS to execute pre-flight preparations and inflight operation (e.g, flight mission application, flight path recommendation, flight monitoring and control);
- Use 5G system to support enhancing the UAV flight/route management based on network capacity and QoS information along the planned route;
- Use 5G system to further enhance the safety and security of UAV operations, e.g. supporting UTM in UAV detection and DAA (Detect and Avoid);
- Identify potential new security, charging and regulatory requirements on 5GS, when used for UAS operation;
- Identify potential new requirements related to redundancy and reliability of command and control (C2) traffic for UAV.

4 Overview p. 8
The present document focuses on improving the 3GPP support for the applications and security for various scenarios using low altitude UAVs. The present document provides potential use cases and defines potential new service level requirements and KPIs for supporting identified use cases by 3GPP system. Use cases cover various scenarios to enhance the combination of 3GPP system and UAV ecosystem and this study presents use cases based on continuation/enhancement of TS 22.125. The present document considers service requirements related to further enhancement of the Network support and exposure for UAV usage and further enhancement of the control, safety, and security of UAV operations.
