SESAR Joint Undertaking's new call for proposals dedicated to SESAR Integrated Remotely Piloted Air System Demonstration activities

The SESAR Joint Undertaking (SJU) launched today a call for proposals dedicated to SESAR Integrated Remotely Piloted Air System Demonstration activities. A total maximum budget of co-financing of 4.000.000,00 EUR (four million EURO) has been earmaked for these activities. As a result of the call, the SJU expects to award indicatively 10 Projects, each for a maximum duration of 24 months.

The purpose of this call for proposals is to select a number of RPAS Demonstration Activities Projects, which shall aim at: • demonstrating how to integrate RPAS into non-segregated airspace in a multi-aircraft and manned flight environment, in order to explore the feasibility of integration with the wider aviation community by 2016; • focusing on concrete results filling the operational and technical gaps identified for RPAS integration into non-segregated airspace; and • capitalising on the SESAR delivery approach by providing synergies, risk and opportunities, with the overall SESAR programme. The Demonstration Activities shall: • be relevant at European scale; • be performed in European Union and/or Eurocontrol member States; • cover various types and sizes of RPAS, and • be performed between the third quarter 2013 and first quarter 2015 . Each project selected by the SJU shall be the subject of one individual co-financing agreement and co-financed to a maximum of 50% of the total actual eligible costs. Deadline for reception of the proposals at the SJU premises is 19 April 2013 at 15:00 (Brussels time). More information about this call for proposal is available on the SJU website: http://www.sesarju.eu/about/procurement.
