In the following conditions (list attempts to be exhaustive, but might not be) the USS qualifier will directly activate a flight with planning it beforehand:
There is a first issue with that: the DSS does not support yet direct activation of an operational intent, see interuss/dss#1294
Then, it is an open question for me whether it is reasonable to require USSs to support this operation. I.e., should the USS qualifier accepts a `NotSupported' response?
This issue has been discussed at the 2025-11-04 InterUSS weekly meeting.
In the following conditions (list attempts to be exhaustive, but might not be) the USS qualifier will directly activate a flight with planning it beforehand:
scenario ConflictHigherPriority, case Attempt to activate flight in conflict: Flight 1 may be attempted to be activated directly without being planned first if the USS previously removed planned Flight 1 after the previous rejected modification attempt
scenario ConflictHigherPriority, case Modify activated flight with pre-existing conflict: Flight 1 may be activated directly without being planned first if the USS previously removed planned Flight 1 after the previous rejected modification attempt
scenario ConflictEqualPriorityNotPermitted, case Attempt to activate flight into conflict: Flight 1 is attempted to be activated directly without being planned first
scenario ConflictEqualPriorityNotPermitted, case Attempt to modify activated flight into conflict: Flight 1c may be activated directly without being planned first if the USS previously removed planned Flight 1c after the previous rejected modification attempt
scenario ConflictEqualPriorityNotPermitted, case Modify activated flight with pre-existing conflict: Flight 1 may be activated directly without being planned first if the USS qualifier previously deleted activated Flight 1c
