Between July and September 2023, EALU-AER will execute the first out of four demonstration activities, comprising five different use cases, which fit inside the first out of four phases of integration of world-class U-Space technology solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

EALU-AER’s ambition<\/h3>\n

The first demonstration is part of the technical activities carried out by EALU-AER. The overall aim of this SESAR 3 project is to demonstrate a U-space infrastructure, backed by industry standards technology and\/or solutions with a higher level of integration among various stakeholders, within a U-space ecosystem and increased levels of automation in the various processes in place<\/span>. Consequently, the project will establish Ireland\u2019s first Digital Sky Demonstrator, located at Future Mobility Campus vertiport site, in Shannon, Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\n

To achieve these goals, EALU-AER focuses on achieving four objectives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. U-space architecture<\/strong>: developing a technical U-Space integrated infrastructure solution for the implementation of Urban Air Mobility (UAM);<\/li>\n
  2. Demos<\/strong>: demonstrating and validating five use cases;<\/li>\n
  3. Public<\/strong> acceptance<\/strong>: evaluating the public’s perception of UAM and defining competency profiles of the future workforce;<\/li>\n
  4. Coordination<\/strong> and<\/strong> harmonisation<\/strong>: ensuring consistency, integration, and consolidation of regulations and standards at a pan-European level.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In order to reach these key objectives, the project is engaging in a series of demonstration activities of Urban Air Mobility that capture the operational requirements, vehicle dynamics, and technology demonstrations associated with the projected near-term UAM services market, such as local inspection, light-freight, and long-distance logistics, hence spanning short to long range distances.<\/p>\n

    EALU-AER’s first demonstration<\/h3>\n

    The first use case mission is a <\/span>Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) Validation.<\/strong> It aims t<\/span>o <\/span>demonstrate and explore the<\/span> automate<\/span>d<\/span> coordination<\/span> with the Air Traffic Control (ATC) when planning, <\/span>approving<\/span> and conducting drone flights in and\/or around Controlled Airspace (CAS). This demonstration facilitates the project’s first phase, which focuses on performing a VLOS flight <\/span>in order to<\/span> validate U-Space Service Provider (USSP) based<\/span><\/span><\/span> platform<\/span><\/span><\/span> functionality and <\/span><\/span><\/span>securely <\/span>monitor<\/span> flights from the operations centre over <\/span>ARINC Ground Network (AGN).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span> This fosters p<\/span><\/span>roving the feasibility, reliability and operational efficiency of transport services provided by various eVTOL (electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft for a variety of use cases and applications, as well as testing and optimising the use of Urban Air Mobility.<\/p>\n

    This demonstration will see the involvement of our coordinator Future Mobility Campus Ireland<\/strong>, as well as our partners: Collins<\/strong> Aerospace<\/strong>, AirNav Ireland<\/strong>, and the Shannon Airport Group<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
