Descripción del proyecto
Drones más seguros en zonas complejas
No es sencillo integrar vuelos de drones en zonas restringidas con mucho tráfico aéreo comercial. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos 5D-AeroSafe es una iniciativa de treinta y seis meses de duración en la que se desarrollará un conjunto de servicios y tecnologías de dron con los que aumentar la seguridad y la protección de aeropuertos y canales. Abordará formas de reducir los costes operativos mediante la oferta de los servicios siguientes: inspección y calibración CNS/GNSS, comprobaciones de seguridad en el perímetro aeroportuario, aproximaciones e inspecciones en canales, aeronaves, en la pista de despegue y las calles de rodaje. El sistema nuevo se evaluará y validará mediante tres pruebas piloto operativas en distintas fases del proyecto en ubicaciones reales y condiciones prácticamente reales.
Objetivo
5D-AeroSafe is a 36-month project that will develop a set of drone-based services to increase the safety and security of airport and waterway, while reducing operational costs through the offering of five services, namely: CNS/GNSS equipment inspection and calibration, security checks in the airport perimeter and approaches, runways and taxiways inspections, aircraft inspections, waterways operation and inspections.
The challenge is to integrate the flight of drones in restricted areas where they will co-exist with numerous commercial flights without increasing risks. The integration UTM/ATM is thus studied in detail in the project to propose these efficient solutions. The services are based on the use of several drones (fixed wings for large area monitoring, and VTOLs for detailed inspections and calibrations) integrated in a generic ground station equipped with innovative ITC capabilities, connected to the airport legacy systems.
The 5D-AeroSafe modules will be connected, via SWIM, to airport maintenance systems for infrastructure inspection and calibration aspects, operations systems for the aircraft inspections, and finally with the local ATM for the ATM/UTM integration aspects.
The project will be implemented under the control of relevant end-users’ stakeholders (airport and water airport operators), and authorities (Civil Aviation Authorities). The tests and validation of the system will be performed through three operational test pilots at different stages of the project as the implementation will be incremental, and will take place in real locations and in as much as possible real conditions. As the technological and operational innovations are multiple, the project will target a final TRL of 6-7.
The consortium and the advisory board encompass a large set of end-users and authorities which is a guaranty of the operationality of the project outcomes, and the industry and research partners have been involved for a long time in drone services development.
