Home Dronelocus® U-space suite for managing unmanned traffic Print General Information Family of products for U-space designed to support operations related to unmanned aircraft systems GMV developed Dronelocus®, a family of products for U-space, in response to the problem of the growing number of operations with unmanned civil aircraft expected in the near future. GMV’s U-space suite includes the following services: Dronelocus® tracking service Dronelocus® emergency management service Navigation and surveillance availability prediction service These services have been tested in real operational environments integrated in other U-space applications. Please contact us with any questions or requests at [email protected] or [email protected]. Features Dronelocus® Suite Description Tracking Service The Dronelocus® tracking service manages data from several tracking sensors installed in drones. This service implements a Track Fusion algorithm to merge the data from different sensors. Additionally, Dronelocus® can process data associated with ADS-B transmitters installed on unmanned aircraft. The Dronelocus® service allows tracking information to be logged in a database to generate trajectory reports. Emergency Services The Dronelocus® emergency service manages a database of alerts recorded during unmanned air system (UAS) operations. This service can also be used to define emergency or security geofences (restricted or forbidden zones). It is also capable of sending notifications to operators affected by certain emergency alerts, as well as the authorities. The Dronelocus® emergency service can also interact with emergency entities including local authorities through Smart City applications. Navigation and surveillance availability prediction service The navigation and surveillance availability prediction service provides information related to the predicted integrity with the accuracy of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The predictions are based on the receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) algorithm. This service includes a web interface that improves access to the information and predictions generated, as it shows the evolution of several integrity and precision parameters associated with the GNSS. Key Features General Information The Dronelocus® services are fully integrated into other U-space services in the DOMUS project. DOMUS was one of the European projects selected by the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) program to demo U-space services in unmanned traffic management (UTM). Both the Dronelocus® tracking service and emergency management service are integrated with the ecosystem management entity—the system core—as UTM-relevant services. Tracking Service The Dronelocus® tracking service offers the following key functions: Management of data from several tracking sensors Receipt of data associated with manned aircraft (ADS-B) Track fusion algorithm Flight plan data verification Interaction with Smart City applications Generation of follow-up reports (incident/accident investigation) Emergency Management Service The Dronelocus® emergency management service offers the following key functions: Management of an alert database to coordinate emergency actions Definition of emergency and security geofences Notification of drone operators affected by emergency alerts, as well as the authorities Interaction with the local authorities (through Smart City) and the fire-fighting services Navigation and surveillance prediction service The navigation and surveillance prediction service offers the following key functions: Different levels of navigation and surveillance prediction based on NACp and NIC quality indicators Service based on the RAIM algorithm defined in the ETSO-C199 and adapted to urban scenarios API REST developed entirely with JWT secure communication Gallery Gallery Dronelocus® brochure Photos of Dronelocus®:
