Aerial Uptake

Potential fields of application can bring broad social benefits, i.e. in public safety, logistics, environmental protection and monitoring, agriculture, etc.

AERIAL UPTAKE aims to create supportive regional policies for unmanned aerial systems by exploring needs and barriers to innovation and commercialisation, including society's acceptance of them. The commercial UAS (unmanned aerial system) industry, commonly known as drones, is a rapidly expanding sector on a global scale, bearing large potentials for economic growth, jobs, innovation.

๐Ÿ”ธ Today, most drones are still controlled by a person on the ground, who has the aircraft in visual line of sight at all times (VLOS) and watches out for other air traffic. But in the future, if at some point not hundreds but hundreds of thousands of drones fly in the air at any given time, drones start to travel considerably longer distances and drones and manned aircraft start using the same airspace, that situation is no longer tenable. There must therefore be something like air traffic control (ATC) for drones, but highly automated. Thatโ€™s U-space. ๐Ÿ”ธ

๐Ÿ”ธ The drone market has been identified as a potential area of economic growth throughout Europe and beyond. However, drones can be seen negatively, both due to connotations with military use, public concerns around privacy and safety and regulatory limits that prevent a number of uses.

This creates a challenge โ€“ what, exactly, are the barriers to drone use for commercial and public purposes. Is it possible for drone technologies to create genuine societal, commercial and, potentially, environment benefit? ๐Ÿ”ธ

This new coalition creates an end-to-end chain of Urban Air Mobility innovations and developments to improve the current urban airspace transport system in European cities.

๐Ÿ”ธ The Urban Air Mobility (UAM) industry in Europe has grown rapidly in recent years, owing to Research and Development (R&D) investments from organisations, academia, governments and the European Commission. The goal of these R&D activities is to provide cities with safe and efficient solutions, resulting in reduced carbon footprint. Using very-low altitude zero emission passenger or cargo-carrying drones enables cities to improve the quality of life of their citizens.

Drones: Commission adopts new rules and conditions for safe, secure and green drone operations - Mobility and Transport - European Commission 29/04/2021

๐Ÿ‘‰ The European Commission today adopted the U-space package - three regulations that together create the conditions necessary for both drones and manned aircraft to operate safely in section of our airspace known as the U-space.

These regulations introduce new services for drone operators, allowing them to carry out more complex and longer-distance operations, particularly in congested, low-level airspace (below 120m), and when out of sight. The U-space creates and harmonises the conditions needed for manned and unmanned aircraft to operate safely, to prevent collisions between drones and other aircraft, and to mitigate the risks of drone traffic on the ground.

AERIAL UPTAKE

The commercial UAS (unmanned aerial system) industry, commonly known as drones, is a rapidly expanding sector on a global scale, bearing large potentials for economic growth, jobs, innovation. Potential fields of application can bring broad social benefits, i.e. in public safety, logistics, environmental protection and monitoring, agriculture, etc. These potentials are also picked up by the European Commission through its Communication COM/2014/0207 that highlighted that UAS technologies offer huge potential for the development of innovative civil applications in a wide variety of sectors that benefit European society and constitute an emerging market that is able to significantly add to the creation of jobs and growth.

The industry however faces some unique challenges within the EU, caused by a lack of unified European standards and a fragmented landscape of regulatory bodies & policies, as well as limited knowledge, awareness and low level of public acceptance of this emerging technology. Although many policies targeting UASs are made at national and EU levels, significant work can be done at local / regional level to exploit innovation potential of UAS applications, as well as economic and societal benefits particularly in an urban context. Regional development policies shall create a favourable environment, allowing a flexible framework for experimentation, demonstration and market uptake of drone technology.

AERIAL UPTAKE brings together local / regional public authorities and key players of the UAS sector from 6 European regions, being pioneers in the creation of a single European drone market. They exchange and transfer knowledge to unleash the potentials of UAS technology for civil and commercial usages. Besides exploring and addressing the key needs and bottlenecks of innovation and commercialisation of UAS, partners investigate tailored solutions for increasing societal acceptance by enhancing and articulating positive social impacts of drone technology.
