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)
Attività nel progetto CIRA

Programma
Le attività del progetto TECVOL-II sono organizzate secondo una road-map temporale che prevede lo sviluppo e validazione di versioni intermedie dei vari prodotti previsti a finire. Ciascuna release prevede l'implementazione di funzionalità addizionali rispetto a quella precedente.
Di seguito una breve descrizione dei principali risultati/prodotti intermedi conseguiti alla data di Luglio 2016, ovvero il cui completamento è previsto entro Dicembre dello stesso anno:
- Sviluppo, prototipizzazione e dimostrazione in volo sulla piattaforma volante FLARE di un sistema HW/SW EGNOS based, per l'esecuzione in modalità completamente automatica delle manovre di take-off e landing (LandFLARE.mp4) di un velivolo RPAS (ATOF, ALEV).
- Sviluppo, prototipizzazione e dimostrazione in volo sulla piattaforma volante FLARE di un sistema prototipale di Autonomous En Route Collision Avoidance Multisensor based (ACAM) per velivoli non cooperanti
(CollisionAvoidance.mp4)
- Sviluppo, prototipizzazione e dimostrazione in volo sulla piattaforma volante FLARE di moduli HW/SW, sia di bordo che di terra, per il pilotaggio da remoto di un velivolo RPAS (RPV.mp4): stazione di controllo remoto con HMI dedicata per il pilota remoto, modulo SW di GNC con funzionalità di remote piloting, automatic flight plan execution, navigation envelope protection and upset recovery, failure detetcion and management (RPV, UAS-GNC 1.0).
- Progettazione, integrazione e verifica funzionale di una infrastruttura sperimentale (MSC) per la raccolta ed elaborazione di misure meteorologiche da utilizzarsi successivamente per la realizzazione di applicativi SW di Weather Situational Awareness (meteosystem.png)
- Progettazione, modellizzazione e verifica in laboratorio di un primo modulo del sistema di data-link riconfigurabile.
