In a context dominated by open class operations that limits the usage of unmanned automobiles to a really restricted type of missions with a restricted scope and advantages, different operations with nice added worth are relegated on account of its increased diploma of complexity and threat. This causes the variety of missions of this profile to be decrease than the primary ones, slowing down the useful use of unmanned automobiles for missions with excessive added worth and better operational complexity.
On this difficult context, the U-SCUAR consortium was born with the target of endeavor superior analysis within the subject of unmanned techniques, with a purpose to adjust to the necessities of European rules on UAS.
The target of this consortium is to offer the platform with applied sciences targeted on operations below the best effectivity and security requirements, enabling the protected use of unmanned automobiles in superior operations similar to firefighting, maritime rescue, coastal surveillance, and so on.
The mission proposes the definition and improvement of an entire system that may function in medium-risk SAIL III and IV operational situations following the SORA methodology and in efficient compliance with the necessities of the European rules on UAS with a purpose to present the platform of applied sciences targeted on operations below the best requirements of effectivity and security.
The U-SCUAR mission has been acknowledged for its sturdy strategic, technological, and progressive nature, which is why it has turn into a part of the Aeronautical Know-how Program (PTA) of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. In flip, this program is framed throughout the Strategic Undertaking for Aerospace Financial Restoration and Transformation (PERTE), accepted by the Interministerial Fee final March 2022 and which plans to mobilize round 4,533 million euros between 2021 and 2025 to strengthen capabilities of the aviation business. U-SCUAR stands out for its contribution to unmanned aerial automobile applied sciences, assembly the required necessities to enter this system.
The consortium of firms with a excessive technological base that can work on the U-SCUAR mission shall be led by the corporate Wake Engineering, to that are added necessary strategic companions similar to UAV Navigation, Pildo Consulting, Aurea Avionics or Aeromedia UAV. Likewise, it needs to be famous that the consortium may have a robust involvement of collaborations from Analysis Organizations similar to AICIA, UPM or CATEC. With this consortium of nationwide companies, the technological muscle of the Spanish business within the subject of unmanned aerial automobiles and its capability to collaborate and generate synergies that enable top-level initiatives to be undertaken are revealed.
This mission has been backed by the CDTI, co-financed with European funds from the Restoration and Resilience Mechanism and supported by the Ministry of Science and Innovation.
The enlargement in the usage of UAS of particular class in missions of nice profit to society shall be a actuality because of the formidable mission developed by the U-SCUAR consortium.
