This project consists of a consortium of organisations with expertise in engineering, aviation, and business to provide a clear path for development, testing and exploitation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The key areas of expertise include heavy lift UAV platforms, radar and radar identification technology, Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) communication, Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) data systems and integration, regulatory approval, and public exploitation.This project is particularly innovative as it incorporates technology that has not yet been used on a wide-scale, and aims to influence the UK CAA standards to pave the way for commercialisation of drone systems, placing it at the heart of the expanding Future of Flight marketplace.The project addresses the challenge of how truly resilient and cost-effective localised communication, navigation and surveillance is possible in high-risk Very Low-Level Flight (VLLF) environments and how this localised information can augment existing Air Traffic Management (ATM) and UTM technologies to provide enhanced situational awareness.The potential value of the use of UAVs to provide such services has been demonstrated in controlled environments. However, to realise the full societal impact of such concepts requires additional safety systems to be deployed and operated, such that the services may be available everywhere and to everyone in need. For example, in the event of a major incident in an urban area, gridlocked road traffic can delay the arrival of ambulances. Motorcycle paramedics are now common, but they are a compromise between speed and equipment carried. UAVs will allow additional medical supplies to be quickly delivered to the scene, so that motorcycle paramedics can treat a greater number of patients without expending their available supplies.The systems developed in this project will demonstrate resilient, accurate and safe operation of a UAV capable of delivery of equipment into complex high-risk environments. Trials of this system will help to establish wider commercial business applications for UAVs through demonstrating the significant benefits of localised situational awareness in critical scenarios such as take-off, landing and navigating in complex urban environments. Trials will also provide a platform to deliver and test operational requirements to identify the infrastructure and operational process requirements to provide an integrated ATM/UTM environment for future UAV operations and inform UK CAA of the standards that should be implemented to enable national exploitation of the technology.

该项目由具有工程、航空和商业专业知识的组织组成，为无人驾驶飞行器（uav）的开发、测试和利用提供明确的途径。关键专业领域包括重型无人机平台、雷达和雷达识别技术、超视距（BVLOS）通信、无人交通管理（UTM）数据系统和集成、监管批准和公共开发。该项目特别具有创新性，因为它结合了尚未大规模使用的技术，旨在影响英国民航局的标准，为无人机系统的商业化铺平道路，将其置于不断扩大的未来飞行市场的核心。该项目解决了如何在高风险的极低空飞行（VLLF）环境中实现真正具有弹性和成本效益的本地化通信、导航和监视的挑战，以及这些本地化信息如何增强现有的空中交通管理（ATM）和UTM技术，以提供增强的态势感知。使用无人机提供此类服务的潜在价值已在受控环境中得到证明。然而，要实现这些概念的全面社会影响，需要部署和操作额外的安全系统，以便服务可以在任何地方和每个有需要的人都可以使用。例如，在城市地区发生重大事故时，道路交通堵塞可能会延误救护车的到达。摩托车护理人员现在很常见，但他们是速度和携带的设备之间的折衷。无人机将允许额外的医疗用品迅速运送到现场，这样摩托车护理人员就可以在不消耗现有物资的情况下治疗更多的病人。该项目开发的系统将展示无人机的弹性、精确和安全操作，能够将设备交付到复杂的高风险环境中。该系统的试验将通过展示在复杂城市环境中起飞、降落和导航等关键场景中本地化态势感知的显著优势，帮助无人机建立更广泛的商业应用。试验还将提供一个平台来交付和测试操作需求，以确定基础设施和操作过程需求，为未来无人机操作提供一个集成的ATM/UTM环境，并告知英国民航局应该实施的标准，使国家能够利用该技术。
