The Belgium-Netherlands U-space Reference Design Implementation (BURDI) project aims to:

  • implement a U-space airspace concept able to manage various, dense and complex UAS operations in controlled, uncontrolled and UAM environment
  • make this implementation a reference to develop best practices, standardisation, harmonisation and/or interoperability requirements fostering operational deployment of U-space airspaces in Europe
  • ensure that solutions to be deployed are economically sustainable and socially acceptable/supported for the benefit of the general public 

BURDI project will be implemented around cities of Antwerp, Liège and Brussels where the proximity of international Airports, an active maritime Port and the proximity of the border with The Netherlands are considered as a relevant factors of development for UAS operations in multiple domains like delivery of goods, inspections, support to medical as well as security operations.
