**PORTAL** - _The infrastructure launchpad for the future of flight_To unlock the Future of Flight (FoF) potential and realise the 2% uptick in GDP (PWC forecast), scalable infrastructure to enable landing and take-off needs to be developed.PORTAL is a disruptive system-of-systems approach to infrastructure technology for vertiports, and this project will develop the technology needed to safely deploy landing locations at scale. By leveraging automation to manage drone traffic through on-ground situational awareness and connectivity, locations can reduce specialist staff, and in-turn, reduce operational costs. PORTAL will make it easy for any business to become a drone capable business, and will be able to serve new bespoke vertiports, be retro-fitted for installations on car parks, roof tops.If the advantages of VTOL aviation are to be realized in a sustainable and future proof way, it is essential to invest in the infrastructure of vertiports: not just pads but safe, efficient, scalable, and resilient systems to transition people and goods from ground to air and _vice versa_. This is exactly the focus of this proposal: efficiency and scalability arising from detailed design optimisation of vertiport systems offering high throughput flight capacity in a modular format. Safety and resilience are provided by precise monitoring and control, not just of air vehicle movements but of all the associated ground handling operations in the immediate air and ground environments.SLiNK-TECH, leading the project, will further develop their existing situational awareness and vertiport management capability, and integrate advanced sensing technology (Cambridge Sensoriis Ltd), innovative guidance beacons (R4DAR Technologies Ltd) and secure-by-design communications (ANGOKA Ltd). University of Bristol will be supporting the project with research into the airspace operational logic, supporting data analytics and providing flight test facilities through their Robotics Flight Lab. Snowdonia Aerospace Centre & Auriga Aerospace Ltd will provide operational support for the larger scale, harsh operational environment demonstrations featured during the project.[][0][][1][0]: #_msoanchor_1[1]: #_msoanchor_5

**门户**--未来飞行的基础设施发射台为了释放未来飞行(FOF)的潜力并实现GDP增长2%(PWC预测)，需要开发可扩展的基础设施来实现着陆和起飞。PORTAL是一种颠覆性的系统系统方法，用于垂直港口的基础设施技术，该项目将开发安全大规模部署着陆地点所需的技术。通过利用自动化通过地面态势感知和连接来管理无人机交通，地点可以减少专业人员，进而降低运营成本。门户将使任何企业都很容易成为具有无人机能力的企业，并将能够服务于新的定制垂直港口，经过改造以安装在停车场和屋顶上。如果VTOL航空的优势要以可持续和未来证明的方式实现，就必须投资于垂直港口的基础设施：不仅是港口，而且是安全、高效、可扩展和弹性的系统，将人员和货物从地面转移到空中，反之亦然。这正是这项建议的重点：通过优化垂直港口系统的详细设计，以模块化形式提供高吞吐量的飞行能力，从而提高效率和可扩展性。该项目的领导者SLiNK-tech将进一步发展他们现有的态势感知和垂直港口管理能力，并整合先进的传感技术(Cambridge Sensoriis Ltd.)、创新引导信标(R4DAR Technologies Ltd.)和按设计安全通信(ANGOKA Ltd.)。布里斯托尔大学将通过对空域业务逻辑的研究来支持该项目，支持数据分析，并通过他们的机器人飞行实验室提供飞行测试设施。斯诺多尼亚航空航天中心和Auriga航空航天有限公司将为项目期间展示的更大规模、恶劣的运营环境演示提供运营支持。[][][0][][1][0]：#_msoangl_1[1]：#_msoang_5
