ATOMICUS - Advanced Traffic Organisation and Management of Intelligent Cargo Unmanned Systems

通过实现与区域机场业务的整合，原子公司将朝着无人驾驶飞机后勤的安全运行迈出重要的务实一步。以数据为基础的与现有实体基础设施相结合的方法，将使物流市场能够显著节省成本和提高生产率。该项目旨在创建和演示数字基础设施和操作程序，使远程无人货运系统能够安全有效地与有人驾驶飞机共享空域和地面基础设施。该项目将开发和演示作战概念(CONOPS)和安全案例，使可扩展的无人机系统(UAS)操作和机场地面操作集成。该项目将建立在Connected Place Catapult正在开发的DFT Open Access UTM框架的基础上，创建新的数据基础设施、产品、API和数据流，以实现必要的接口。通过这种方法，Aericus将展示在机场和机场之间提供物流的能力，展示作为计划的、有序的飞行的一部分，在分配的时段内，安全地操作无人机通过受控空域降落在有人驾驶的机场并到达“登机口”的能力。到达后，将对车辆进行损坏、磨损和撕裂检查。通过展示UTM如何能够扩大UAS的优势，该项目将为在第三阶段演示一种中英里解决方案奠定基础，该解决方案将尽快将无人机整合到现有的空中交通系统和基础设施中，同时最大限度地减少对当今有人驾驶飞机空中和地面操作的干扰。

ATOMICUS will deliver a significant pragmatic step towards safe operation of unmanned aircraft logistics by enabling integration with regional airfield operations. The approach of data based integration with existing physical infrastructure, will enable unlocking of significant cost savings and productivity gains in the logistics market. This project aims to create and demonstrate the digital infrastructure and operational procedures that will allow long-range unmanned cargo systems to safely and efficiently share the airspace and ground infrastructure with manned aircraft.The project will develop and demonstrate a concept of operations (CONOPS) and safety case, enabling scalable Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) operation and airport ground operations integration. The project will build upon the DfT Open Access UTM Framework being developed by Connected Places Catapult, creating new data infrastructure, products, APIs, and data flows to implement necessary interfaces.Through this approach, ATOMICUS will demonstrate the ability to provide logistics between airports and airfields, demonstrating the capacity to, as part of a planned, sequenced flight, with an allocated slot, safely operate a drone through controlled airspace to land at a manned airport and arrive at a 'gate'. Following arrival, the vehicle is inspected for damage, wear and tear.By demonstrating how UTM can enable scaling of the benefits of UAS, the project will provide the foundation for demonstrating during Phase 3, a middle mile solution for integrating drones as quickly as possible into the existing Air Traffic System and infrastructure with minimal disruption to today's manned aircraft air and ground operations.
