ABOUT THE PROJECT
Description
Different key objectives have been identified by EC in the ITT:
Review results of other projects/initiatives
With the objective of capitalizing previous results from other EGNSS projects which can facilitate the penetration of EGNOS and Galileo in UAS market, both for the Open and Specific categories
Identify user needs
To capture Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) service providers and operators’ needs in complex operations, including (but not limited to) Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight and urban cases.
Gap analysis
To perform a gap analysis between the elements already implemented in EGNSS Programmes and the needs for a fast acceptance as an additional service in U-Space.
Impact analysis
To perform impact analysis in the service provision layer for the facilitation of the use of EGNSS in U-Space and, more specifically, for the mitigation of risks in the Specific Category.
Implementation of API for EGNSS
To define and implement an Application Programming Interface (API) for EGNSS which could be called upon by UTM service providers, UAS designers or UAS systems developers, and integrated in existing commercial solutions.
Proof of Concept
To perform proof of concept by means of execution flight trials in a complex environment (Specific Category). These trials are aimed at demonstrating the added value for drone operations of the measures implemented at service provision level and the new EGNSS API.
Awareness and contribution to standardisation/regulation
To perform a set of awareness actions that will be complemented with the contribution to standardisation and regulation activities, to maximize the possibilities that the proposed services are implemented as a U-Space service.
