Descripción del proyecto
Una nueva manera de hacer el seguimiento de los drones
Los drones son aeronaves sin piloto humano, tripulación ni pasajeros. Desarrollados originalmente para misiones militares, los sistemas aéreos no tripulados (UAS, por sus siglas en inglés) han alzado el vuelo y se utilizan cada vez más en un número creciente de sectores comerciales. Con todo, es necesario garantizar que la información sobre su posicionamiento sea fiable desde el punto de vista jurídico. En este contexto, el equipo del proyecto CERTIFLIGHT, financiado con fondos europeos, propondrá un nuevo servicio de U-space para la certificación jurídica de las huellas generadas por los UAS. En concreto, creará un servicio digital para la generación de informes certificados de las pistas de vuelo y los registros de vuelo de los UAS. El núcleo del sistema es un dispositivo digital para el sistema mundial civil de navegación por satélite/internet de las cosas. La información de rastreo se codifica para su transmisión al instante a la plataforma de CERTIFLIGHT y se almacena de forma permanente en un nodo de cadena de bloques privado.
Objetivo
The rising number of UASs (drones) led to the introduction of additional specific rules and procedures for their use (i.e. EU regulatory package 2021/664 U-space) where UASs are expected to operate alongside sport/ultralight and General aviation (GA) aircrafts. For this class of aircrafts and UASs there is no certified component capable of ensuring a positioning information trustable enough as evidential value from a legal perspective.
In response to this need, CERTIFLIGHT project proposes a new U-space service for the legal certification of tracks generated by UASs and aircrafts flights, through the introduction of a new disruptive EGNSS-IoT digital system.
CERTIFLIGHT features a software platform that offers to its customers (UAS Operators, GA Pilots) a digital service for the generation of certified reports of flight tracks and the flight logs of UASs and GA aircrafts, especially for safety related and commercially valuable applications, paving the way for a new class of U-space business services that include the activation of Smart Contracts (i.e. contracts activated when specific conditions are met as flying specific routes for drone parcel delivery). In addition, the recorded tracks may be useful for enforcement (i.e. sanctions for airspace infringement) as well as for possible accident or incident investigations. The core of the system is a digital EGNSS/IoT device installed on UASs and GA manned aircraft, equipped with an OSNMA Galileo/EGNOS enabled receiver, capable to guarantee the authenticity of their position information at the origin, without the possibility to be counterfeited or spoofed. Tracking information is cyphered for transmission to CERTIFLIGHT platform in real time and permanently stored to a private Blockchain node, unalterable once stored. Galileo OSNMA service acts as unique global enabler for this service, ensuring the authenticity of positioning data at the origin.
