This paper presents the algorithms enabling real-time 4-Dimensional Flight Trajectory (4DT) functionalities in Next Generation Mission Management Systems (NG-MMS), which are the core element of future Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) avionics. In particular, the algorithms are employed for multi-objective optimisation of 4DT intents in various operational scenarios spanning from online strategic...
The aim of this paper is the description of the CIRA's (Italian Aerospace Research Center) vision about GN&C (Guidance, Navigation and Control) technologies for RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System). Specifically, the architecture (limiting to GN&C functions) of on-ground and on-board segments realized for the experimental CIRA RPAS will be described and compared with the recommendations...
In this paper a novel algorithm for distant aircraft detection for visual sense-and-avoid for UAV is presented. The algorithm uses local edge density to partition the frame into two types of regions. The first type is the unstructured or homogeneous part like sky region and the second part where there is a structured background, like high contrast clouds or terrain regions. The airplanes are detected...
The last decade has witnessed both the growth in Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) numbers and the introduction of the Airbus A380, the largest passenger aircraft to enter commercial service. Both introduce extremes at either end of the spectrum for weight and wingspan: into an Air Traffic Management (ATM) System where wake vortex separation minima have been unchanged for three decades. However, airport...
A conceptual third party risk (TPR) model is developed, implemented, and tested to demonstrate the capability of determining the risk to the population in a metropolitan city exposed to personal aerial vehicles (PAVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) traffic operations. The conceptual model that is primarily based on the methodology and experience of risk modelling for conventional aircraft is...
