AURA's Key principles

01

Defragmentation of service provision: Solutions 1 and 2 will contribute to this key principle, enabling a seamless airspace, with the validation of advanced U-space services and its collaborative interface with ATM. Solution 2 will contribute to streamlining service provision by defining interoperability requirements of technologies and service architectures to support the information-exchange needs of the collaborative ATM-U-space interface.

02

Interoperability, being the main focus of the project the validation of information exchange between U-space services and ATM, aligned with current SWIM standards. This way, the interoperability between the stakeholders (both U-space and ATM ones) is guaranteed.

04

Network performance, the deployment of U-space services and the interface with ATM systems will allow the growth of drone operations across Europe. The validations will include several USSPs (U-Space Service Providers) and drone operations.

05

Deployment oriented architecture: the project will contribute to the deployment of the U-space roadmap in Europe, validating the exchange of information between U-space and ATM and being the results available for regulators and standardization bodies.

06

Through the harmonized ConOps (Concept of Operations) approach, the project will contribute to the tackling of the limits to growth particularly in the new entrants market. In addition, a well-defined and interoperable U-Space/ATM interconnection will also allow a sustainable growth in traditional aviation especially after the impacts suffered from the COVID-19 crisis.

07

The dissemination activities will contribute to a harmonized external EU aviation policy.

08

The integration of new entrants and the sustainable interconnection of U-space and ATM will allow higher levels of autonomy and connectivity which will allow more efficient traffic management.

09

The implementation and validation of SWIM services will allow increased connectivity and digital information exchange.
