Objectives

Drones are already used in an array of sectors, from agriculture, construction and surveillance to film-making, healthcare and emergency services. Given the scale and complexity of drone operations that are expected in the coming years, a holistic approach needs to be taken to managing the airspace. The project will develop a framework that incorporates various AI-based tools and associated information flows to enable future drone operations at scale. The proposed framework will represent a digital step change in ATM, using AI as a means to move to more automated U-space services.
