URClearED for take-off

In the coming years, remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) will become ever-present in our skies serving as vehicles for cargo delivery and many other important services, says Federico Corraro, CIRA. He is the coordinator of the SESAR JU URClearED project, which is investigating a critical technology to ensure that these air vehicles can go about their business safely and securely.

Demonstrating space-enabled air traffic control

Plans are underway by SESAR members and partners to demonstrate the feasibility of using low-orbit satellites to provide voice communications to manage aircraft in oceanic regions of the world. The project aims to show how space-based communications navigation and surveillance technologies can help optimise air traffic while reducing the carbon footprint and maintaining safety levels.

Keeping an augmented eye on the traffic

Binoculars are still used in control towers for everyday operations. Now researchers from SESAR JU member, NLR - Netherlands Aerospace Centre, are investigating augmented reality goggles that will help controllers better manage airport traffic! The tests are part of PJ.05-W2-97 into virtual reality and AR applications in tower environments.
