Call
Detailed Call Description
- Development of methodologies for environmental impact assessment of U-space operations. This research will help in developing methodologies and metrics for environmental impact assessment (i.e. in relation to emissions, noise and local air quality) of U-space operations (R&I need: U-space social acceptance aspects).
- Evolution of ATM. This element will explore whether U-space can be an accelerator of the ATM innovation life cycle, facilitating faster, lower-risk adoption of new technologies or approaches (automation, AI, internet of things (IoT), cloud, etc.). This could include, for example, the use of U-space communication solutions for air–ground communications on the airport surface (to free up the VHF spectrum for use in the air), adaptation of U-space automation concepts to manned aviation (e.g. advanced automation). In terms of the evolution of ATM, the aim will be to exploit the potential use of U-space technologies and concepts for manned aviation, with a focus on exploring the potential applicability of advanced U-space services to uncontrolled airspace, in particular Class G airspace. Applications to HAOs are also be within the scope of this element (R&I need: transfer of U-space automation technology to ATM).
