Enhancing autonomy and safety in future uncrewed aviation
Successful flight demonstrations show what a detect and avoid (DAA) system on board an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) can achieve in real-life collision scenarios. Live flight demonstrations were recently carried out with the rotary-wing UAV SKELDAR V-200 using a DAA system that can automatically manoeuvre the UAV around intruder aircraft. An important milestone in the […]
EU transport ministers agree joint positions on Fit for 55 package
Transport files of the fit for 55 package: General approaches The Council adopted general approaches on the legislative proposals of the fit for 55 package that relate to transport (alternative fuels infrastructure, FuelEU Maritime and ReFuelEU Aviation). This is an important step in the implementation of the fit for 55 legislative package, which should make it possible […]
Horizon Europe: Fast Track Innovation and Uptake Artificial Intelligence for Aviation
Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes. Environment. AI will enable the optimisation of aircraft trajectories, potentially reducing the aviation environmental footprint. Capacity. AI will play a fundamental role in aviation/ATM to address airspace capacity shortages, enabling dynamic configuration of the airspace and allowing dynamic spacing separation between aircraft. […]
