PortableUTM is an ecosystem of products that has a clear objective: provide key actors with a reliable, highly-dependable, standards-compliant UTM solution for airspace management of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, also knowns as RPAs or simply drones.
As airspace is usually shared between commercial flights and UAVs, our system allows to be used in an ATC environment for supervision of flights while allowing critical situation monitoring and automatic notifications.
Our system is also specially recommended for the usage in emergency disaster response teams and is easy to use for UAV operators to share their telemetry.
The API is the main interfaz to interact with UTM data. It supports both the monitoring of all airspace under the control of the authority and the management for pilots and UAV operators of their shared data with authorities and request of new authorizations.
In the repository there is a sample.env file that you should copy and rename to .env and modify some parameters:
The DATABASE_CONNECTION_NAME indicates which connection to use from those exposed in ormconfig.json.
The JWTSECRET is used to encrypt the jwt token
The JWT_EXPIRATION_TIME is used to determine how long the generated jwt token will last.
The SMTP_URL, SMTP_USERNAME and SMTP_PASSWORD are used to configure the sending of emails with SMTP protocol.
- Download the two repositories: dronfiesuss and webapp.
- If you don’t have npm installed, install npm.
- Run the command “npm install” in both projects.
- Create the database:
- Install PostgreSQL (v11) and PostGIS (v3) on your computer.
- Open pgAdmin.
- Go to your local server, and create a new database called “dev”.
- Restore the script “dronfiesuss/db_scripts/create_empty_db.sql”.
- Open the file “dronfiesuss/ormconfig.json” and set the credentials of your local database.
- Run both projects, using the command “npm start” on the root folder of both projects.
The database used is Postgres with the Postgis extension. This requires having an instance running either locally or externally and configuring it correctly in the ormconfig.json file. On the other hand, it is possible to configure the database with Docker. To leave the docker instance running you need to run docker-compose up. Also if you want to have an extra exclusive database for tests run the script docker-compose run postgres bash / scripts / test_database.bash
The ormconfig.json file details the database configuration parameters. Details of the connections parameters can be obtained on Connection Options

To contribute we are accepting pull request, you can follow de next guide.

To add a new entity and a dao, follow the guidelines of typeorm:
To add a new rest controller you have to add a class that has asynchronous methods that have the parameters Request, Response and NextFunction. In addition, each method in the class must be assigned a route in the routes.ts file.
- add a method
async methodName(request: Request, response: Response, next: NextFunction) - assign a route to the method
{
method: "get", //name of http method
route: `/operation/creator`, //url
controller: OperationController, //name of class
action: "operationsByCreator", //name of method
middlewares: [checkJwt] // name of needed middleware
}
