TECVOL-2 Innovative technologies for RPAS autonomous mission management and for their safely integration

Obiettivo

  • ​As far as the GNC technologies is concerned, the project long term objective is the development, prototyping and validation of HW/SW GNC modules able to guarantee, with an high level of operative efficiency, the autonomous mission management both of a single RPAS and of a fleet of cooperative RPAS's. In particular the innovative GNC system will support the remote pilot for the whole flight mission by taking adequately into account both the changes in the external environment (I,e traffic, no-fly zones, weather, ground orography) and the eventual modifications on the RPAS performance and manoeuvring capabilities induced by vehicle failure and/or malfunction's (ADAPT, UAS-GNC 2.0).

  • As far as the data-link technologies is concerned, the project long-term objective is the development, prototyping and validation of reconfigurable data-link for MALE RPAS. In particular the project will investigate such innovative data-link configurations allowing to modify the user communication functionalities just by means of changes of the the signal processing SW, without any modification to the communication HW system architecture (RECDL-AC)

  • As far as the Weather Situational Awareness technologies is concerned, the project long-term objective is the development, prototyping and validation of an integrated HW/SW system for monitoring and forecasting of the main weather parameters with the final aim to provide to the RPAS operators (pilot, air traffic controller, ..) all the info needed to increase their weather situational awareness and to the overall flight safety level (WSAS)
