Three and a half years ago, we embarked on the ADACORSA journey, a visionary project aimed at unlocking the full potential of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations. Our mission was clear yet ambitious: we aimed to foster the integration of the automotive and drone industries, reduce deployment costs through advanced sensing technology, and leverage commercial off-the-shelf communication technologies. The idea was to integrate the efficiency of automotive-style production with the innovation of AI and data analytics, steering the future of air mobility.

 

Now, we can proudly state, that we've successfully met our lofty goals, a feat that wouldn't have been possible without the commitment and hard work of our partners. Their dedication has been the cornerstone of this project's success, driving us forward every step of the way.

 

The first day of our final review, hosted at the scenic bavAIRia e.V. headquarters in Gilching, Germany, was a testament to the hard work and achievements of our partners. On the first day of the review, we witnessed presentations detailing the progress across various work packages and supply chains.

The second day brought the project to life with live demonstrators, showcasing the practical outcomes. Each partner also presented their exploitation strategy, setting the stage for the future and illustrating how far we've come and where we're headed. The demonstrator poster exhibition offered deeper insights into our advancements, further highlighting the project's impact.

 

As we wrap, we're not just celebrating the end of a project but the beginning of a new era in drone technology. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in ADACORSA. Here's to the future projects and the continued transformation of the world of air mobility!

On May 19, 2022, the Institute of Youth, in partnership with ITML and the ADACORSA project, successfully co-hosted the "Drones in Cyprus" event in Nicosia, Cyprus. This significant gathering attracted members of the general public, various government agencies, and researchers. Notably, representatives from the Cyprus Police and the Nicosia municipality were present, exploring the applications and implications of drone technology for law enforcement in Cyprus.

 

A key feature of the event was the distribution of a public acceptance survey, developed by SC9, among attendees. The responses from this survey are expected to provide crucial insights into the public's perception and acceptance of drone technology. These findings will be instrumental in guiding future initiatives and strategies in this rapidly evolving field.

As part of the ADACORSA research project, measurement campaigns were successfully carried out in a farming area near Schmidgaden in Bavaria. For this purpose, a commercially available DJI drone was extended with a measurement system that enables the recording of the quality of service of mobile radio connections. The picture shows the drone, with which predefined routes are flown, the drone pilot, as well as an RTK base station, which is used for the exact routing of the drone. With the help of the measurement data, prediction models are to be trained. These are, for example, applied to adjust the utilization of the transmission channels accordingly or to generate a flight route adapted to the transmission characteristics.

 

On the 1st and 2nd of March 2023, project partners gathered at Infineon Technologies Campeon in Neubiberg, Germany for the 3rd General Assembly Meeting. The meeting was also broadcasted live for remote participants.

During the 2-day meeting, Supply Chain and Demonstrator leaders presented achievements of the past year and outlined work that needs to be done before the final review meeting, which is scheduled for October. The topics of the demonstrators ranged from multi-sensor architectures for perception, and intelligent algorithms to improve SLAM, to the use of drones on construction sites.

This General Assembly meeting provided project partners with the ideal opportunity not only to align but also to define the framework for demo presentations for the final review.

The EFECS conference was a perfect opportunity to celebrate the "Towards a European single market for drones" initiative, which brought together Comp4Drones, CPS4EU, ADACORSA and Arrowhead-tools projects.

The synergy between these projects allowed to increase accessibility to pre-integrated tool chains produced by SMEs that make up the drone industry in Europe. Comp4Drones and ADACORSA are developing components for drones. Comp4Drones architecture stems from avionics practices, while ADACORSA adapts automotive technologies and practices. CPS4EU developed 6 pre-integrated architectures for cyber-physical systems, which can enable easy customisation of drone systems. Arrowhead-tools work on closing the gaps that hinder IT/OT integration. By introducing new technologies in an open-source platform for design and run-time engineering, Arrowhead Tools renders the efficient integration of IoT and System of Systems tractable.

Furthermore, these projects have many partners in common, making it easier to share the overall vision and facilitating the adoption of the projects` results.

EFECS is the international forum to ‘Create impact by collaborative innovation! for an autonomous and sustainable Europe and the Electronic Components and Systems value chain in Europe. EFECS 2022 took place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands on the 23-24th of November 2022.
