The project City-ATM, launched by the German Aerospace Center DLR in 2018, aims to integrate new airspace users, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, into uncontrolled airspace. An air traffic management and traffic flow control concept were developed. The phase 1 demonstration in 2019 showed a bridge inspection featuring, amongst other elements, the flight of several drones in a limited area, beyond visual line of sight operation, strategic flight planning considering strategic geo-fences, and tactical conflict detection. To enrich the base concept from phase 1 with more U-Space services, the concept has been extended for phase 2 by dynamic geo-fencing for the tactical avoidance of danger spots. This article describes how dynamic geo-fences can be modeled around a hazard area, how the dynamic opening and closure of these fences can be distributed to relevant systems, and how the fences are considered by on-ground and already in air vehicles. The complete concept has been implemented and tested at the National Experimental Test Center in Cochstedt. Finally, the execution of successful flight trials has been described.
