Digital Flight enhanced Rules, enabling new technologies

Ziel

The DiFeRent project (Digital Flight enhanced Rules, enabling new technologies) addresses the urgent need for a new set of flight rules — Digital Flight Rules (DFR) — to safely integrate emerging aviation technologies such as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) including Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS), Vertical Capable Aircraft (VCA), and Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) flights into shared airspace. Current flight rules (VFR/IFR) were designed for manned aviation, and are not scalable or suitable for highly automated or remotely piloted operations. DiFeRent proposes a novel, interoperable, and automation-ready regulatory framework built around flight rules that take advantage of modern digital technologies, hence Digital Flight Rules. DFR will complement existing flight rules while enabling safe, efficient, and equitable access for all aircraft types, a crucial step in the evolution of the overall ICAO framework to support a highly automated ATM environment.
The project will explore Digital Flight Rules at Technology Readiness Level 1 (TRL1), defining operational concepts, use cases, and validation strategies. It will assess technological enablers such as e-conspicuity, detect-and-avoid systems, and aircraft-to-aircraft communication. Through stakeholder engagement, simulations, and analytical modelling, DiFeRent will evaluate alternative implementations of DFR, identifying the most acceptable candidate. DiFeRent will develop a roadmap for deploying DFR and propose amendments to the Standardised European Rules of the Air (SERA) and ICAO Annex 2, plus related documents, that would make it usable in Europe and world-wide respectively.
