Descrizione del progetto
Architettura per le operazioni con i droni e l’interazione con la gestione del traffico aereo
Mentre i droni continuano a rivoluzionare vari settori, si presentano sfide uniche che l’aviazione tradizionale provvista di equipaggio non ha affrontato adeguatamente. Il progetto TERRA, finanziato dall’UE, se ne farà carico concentrandosi sul tema di ricerca di Orizzonte 2020 SESAR 2016-1 RPAS04: Tecnologia a terra. In particolare, TERRA svilupperà un’architettura tecnica completa per supportare la concezione della gestione del traffico dei sistemi aerei senza pilota. Definendo i requisiti operativi e funzionali di tre casi aziendali rappresentativi di droni, e tenendo conto delle esigenze degli operatori e dell’impatto sulle parti interessate, TERRA individuerà le tecnologie esistenti ed emergenti in grado di soddisfare tali requisiti. Inoltre, il progetto analizzerà l’applicabilità delle tecnologie esistenti, garantendo un’integrazione sicura ed efficiente dei droni nello spazio aereo.
Obiettivo
TERRA Project addresses the research topic H2020-SESAR-2016-1 RPAS04: Ground-based technology, focusing on the performance requirements associated with the UTM concept, and identifying the technologies (existing and new) which could meet these requirements. TERRA proposes a technical architecture to support VLL RPAS operations, which are assumed to encompass interaction with VFR traffic.
The main project objectives are the following:
• Requirements identification: A set of operational and functional ground-based system requirements will be defined for three representative RPAS operational business cases, considering operator requirements but also potential impacts on stakeholders.
• Technological applicability: Analysis of applicability of existing CNS/ATM technologies which could be applied to UTM, identification and development of new technologies (e.g. machine learning classification of flight trajectories) and analysis of their applicability, considering in both cases the performance provided by these technologies with the requirements imposed upon their use.
• Architecture proposal and proof of concept: Identification of the most appropriate technologies, comparing their performance and applicability with the user requirements and definition of a technical architecture, which will be evaluated by means of a proof of concept demonstration.
To achieve these objectives, the Consortium consists of a range of companies bringing complementary expertise (research, operational, industrial) covering all the elements of ground-based technologies for UTM; additionally, an Advisory Board of stakeholders and developers has been formed to assist the consortium on the requirements identification and proposals validation. Finally, a proof of concept demonstration of the proposed architecture will be conducted, leveraging existing simulation platforms previously developed by members of the consortium. TERRA aims to safely facilitate up to 1 million VLL RPAS fligths by 2025.
