U-ELCOME aims to enable the scalable market deployment of U-space U1 and U2 services through large-scale demonstrations across Europe. The project develops, tests, and validates SESAR U-space solutions at 15 operational sites in Spain, Italy, and France, combining digital and physical infrastructures to reach TRL 8. U-ELCOME focuses on U1 foundation services, such as e-registration, e-identification, and geo-awareness, which enable safe […]
A Multi-Agent negotiation framework for planning conflict-free U-space scenarios The expected growth of drone traffic in both urban and rural areas calls for highly automated and scalable air traffic management solutions. U‑PLAN addresses this challenge by developing smart U‑space services that help balance airspace demand and capacity while maintaining safety and efficiency. The project introduces automated, negotiation‑based mechanisms that detect […]
CORUS‑XUAM is a 24‑month Very Large Demonstration (VLD) project that showcases how U‑space services can enable integrated Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operations in Europe. The project demonstrates how eVTOLs, drones, and manned aircraft can operate safely, securely, sustainably, and efficiently within a fully integrated airspace, without negatively affecting existing ATM operations. Building on the original SESAR CORUS U‑space Concept of Operations (ConOps) delivered […]
