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
DigiPrime will create and operate a federated model of digital platforms by developing reliable data sharing mechanisms and preserving the confidentiality of business-critical data, governed by smart contracts and using block-chain tracking.
Research project
The SERENA project aims to develop a prototype propulsion system for a General Aviation-category aircraft based on hybrid power technologies (hydrogen-fueled cells, batteries, and super-capacitors).
