RPASInAir

Integrazione dei Sistemi Aeromobili a Pilotaggio Remoto nello spazio aereo non segregato per servizi civili innovativi

Sector

Aeronautics

Product/Objective

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).

Project Summary

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.

Innovation

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.

ES Role

EnginSoft was involved in developing a methodology to manage the paths of Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems with respect to unforeseen events.

Research project

VOLPE

Development of new functions for analytical instrumentation to control dangerous volatile compounds

The VOLPE project aims to engineer and industrialize an innovative optoelectronic instrument to detect explosive compounds in volatile form that can be integrated with commercial systems for screening hand luggage, and capable of operating independently.

Research project

FORSAL

FOnderia Robotizzata per la SAlute dei Lavoratori

Le attrezzature robotizzate per le operazioni di molatura, sbavatura, smaterozzatura e riparazione dei getti sviluppate dal progetto costituiscono una novità assoluta la maggior parte delle fonderie di leghe ferrose.

Research project

AtSSE

Atmospheric Sub-system Engineering

The objective was to design, study and characterize the atmospheric sub-system of a Plant Control Unit and its processes related to crop growth. The atmosphere of the plant-related environment had to be homogeneous and meet the plants’ requirements.
