Clusters

U-Space development

Development

Progressive & Iterative development

Cluster

Each with its own approach

Each with its own initial readiness level

Coordinated (interoperability)

Services

All clusters to implement & validate U1 services

U2 services will be covered depending on operation needs

Market uptake

Development first internally & progressively

To the external
world

Task 1

U-space ecosystem identification for the different scenarios by considering a set of parameters such as (non exhaustive) air and ground scenario configuration, UAS performances, available U-space CNS infrastructure ATM environment, weather data, airspace rules, etc…

Task 2

U-space ecosystem adaptation, integration & factory acceptance testing performed under agile methodology for the different U-space system components (USSP/CISP systems, airborne and ground equipment, CNS infrastructure and any other required infrastructure)

Task 3

U-space scenarios site deployment considering operation typology, flight plan, authorizations, required infrastructure, risk mitigation measures, other additional requirements

Task 4

Acceptance testing and demonstration setting up and execution at the different sites

Task 5

System interoperability testing througt USSP system adaptation to different CISP developments

Task 6

Data collection and pre-analysis of results and outcomes according to pre-defined harmonization metrics to provide findings for and feed
standardization and regulatory bodies as EASA, EUROCAE, ASTM, ISO, etc…
