RAID – RPAS in ATM Integration Demonstration
Obiettivo
The project is specifically looking at the short-term implications of RPAS integration in unsegregated airspace, with specific objectives of evaluating, with regards to human performances and safety and security factors, the following integration aspects:
Fully automated and augmented autopilot modes for piloting RPAS;
Traffic separation managed by air traffic controllers dealing with manned and unmanned intruders;
Emergency conditions management during jamming/spoofing of the command and control
Cooperative traffic separation between remote pilot and controllers using an airborne automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS-B) based Detect And Avoid (DAA) decision support system.
Attività nel progetto CIRA
CIRA leaded the Italy-Malta Consortium of SMEs, ANSP and University that carried out the project. CIRA directly developed the system for remotely controlling the FLARE vehicle, that is the Command and Control Link, the airborne and on-ground avionic system for handling the vehicle by remote and the ADS_B based DAA decision support system, for surveillance and traffic separation.
The project objectives have been attained through real-time simulations and flight tests. The RTS were conducted in March 2015 using CIRA's RPAS ground simulation facility and ATC simulators owned by Malta Air Traffic Services (MATS) and the University of Malta, using licensed air traffic controllers, as well as, RPAS pilots and pseudo pilots. The results of RTS phase were presented in the first workshop held at the Italian Military Airforce headquarters on 10 December 2015.
The flight test campaign has been performed in May 2016, it lasted about ten days, during which 12 flights have been completed with the research vehicle FLARE controlled by remote. About 20 different operational scenarios have been experimented in flight, including RPAS handover manoeuvres of temporary segregated areas, conflict detection and resolution with manned and unmanned air vehicles ADS_B equipped for cooperative surveillance operations, both in nominal and in emergency conditions, due to C2 link or GPS signal disruption.
The project ended with a stakeholders open workshop held at CIRA on June 21st.

RAID – RPAS in ATM Integration Demonstration
On Board Systems and ATM
RAID is one of several demonstration project co-funded by the SESAR Joint Undertaking aimed at the safe integration in ATM of civil remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS). Led by CIRA, the project aims to demonstrate and evaluate the impact of integrating drones into unrestricted airspace within current ATM environments.
