Objetivo
NEDUNA provides holistic and dynamic data about airspace connectivity and ground risk for uncrewed/unmanned aviation. This is a must have requirement to enable automated BVLOS (beyond-visual-line-of-sight) drone operations and hence for the drone business at scale.
Drones will revolutionize a wide range of industry verticals, including all kinds of automated inspections, first responder services, agricultural services, delivery & logistics operations, media & entertainment, all the way to drone taxis! A market that is expected to exceed €100bn in annual revenue in 2028.
But in order to make that a reality at scale, unrestricted and automated BVLOS drone operations are needed, which is not the case today.
However, to make automate BVLOS drone operations at scale a reality, it is a critical regulatory requirement to have evidence of safety critical data: a) Where in the airspace there is sufficient connectivity to safely operate a drone (which is a must have requirement for remotely controlled aircraft) and b) have a holistic understanding about the ground risk, i.e. how many people are on the ground along a flight path.
This is where NEDUNA comes in. It provides all the needed information in an aggregated manner, through a single interface, from a single location, via a single contract. This is the reason why key stakeholders in the value chain are expressing high interest and have already provided their Letters of Interest, including: EASA, Civil Aviation Authorities (such as AustroControl), ANSPs and Approval Authorities (such as AVINOR), ATM/UTM system providers (such as FREQUENTIS), Drone Operators (such as SmartDigital) and telecom providers (such as T-Mobile). NEDUNA is to airspace connectivity data what iTunes is to the digital music industry.
Hence, NEDUNA is a game changer for providing the necessary data to fully automate BVLOS drone operations and unleash a multi billion Euro business.
