The RPASinAir project has the strategic objective of developing the use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and innovative sensors connected to airborne, satellite or public archive systems, which are capable of reporting critical events and of helping to prevent and manage emergencies (floods, landslides, earthquakes, industrial accidents).
The project strengthens the mission of supporting the development of the aerospace industry entrusted to Taranto-Grottaglie airport in the National Airport Plan approved by the Italian Ministry of Transport in 2016.
Development of advanced features of traffic control applications (ATC) for the integrated management of air traffic with and without pilot on board. Creation of a center for the collection, management and processing of Earth Observation data in an integrated logic with other data sources (satellites, ...) capable of processing the data acquired by the SAPR in real-time or near real-time and providing services monitoring of the territory, risk prevention and emergency management.
Development of new sensors designed to detect sources of risk for the territory: hydrogeological risk, cryospheric risk and risk related to the presence of dust (volcanic or from fires) in the atmosphere.
Testing and demonstration of the systems developed in the project (SE, ATM, applications, sensors) in laboratory and real environments with the execution of missions with RPAS to demonstrate the achievement of the expected performances.
EnginSoft was involved in developing a methodology to manage the paths of Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems with respect to unforeseen events.

Some of our competences in research and technology transfer
Research project
LUBFORLIFE’s ultimate goal is the integration of innovative components and technologies into electromechanical actuators, for aircraft and UAV flight controls, which do not require relubrication during their entire operating lifes.
Research project
The SMEA project studied and implemented diagnostic and prognostic methodologies, supported by appropriate sensors, to monitor the functional integrity of mechanical components typical of the aviation and transport sectors.
Research project
The MAIPCO project concerns defect analysis in the production of complex composite components in the aeronautical sector and has developed new methodologies to reduce these defects.
