The goal of the SONORA project is to develop the future of the U-Space industry and unmanned aerial systems
The second and final round of testing for the project will make it possible to collect relevant data on the aerial mobility of unmanned aerial systems in urban environments
The tests consisted of an exhaustive series of flight plans to assess the accuracy, availability, continuity, and integrity of GNSS receivers integrated with IMUs or other complementary technologies
Together with CENTUM research & technology, GMV will be providing the Rozas Airport Research Center (CIAR) with a system that can ensure that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be operated continuously and securely
The CIAR is the testing infrastructure created under the Civil UAVs Initiative led by Galicia’s regional government, with the purpose of advancing UAV technologies for civilian use
The Civil UAVs Initiative was developed as a way to address the new challenges arising in relation to use of unmanned vehicles, such as managing responses to urgent healthcare situations and other emergencies, sustainable management of forest and marine resources, prevention and suppression of wildfires, biodiversity observation and monitoring, and developing new forms of mobility
The aim of this MOU is to enhance Portugal’s Defence Technological and Industrial Base, focusing mainly on the ongoing development of technologies associated with the A-29 Super Tucano and its recently launched A-29N variant
