ICARUS CONSORTIUM

In this discussion paper EUROCONTROL and EASA have published some potential options for the resolution to the Common Altitude reference problem for drones. The conclusion of the study outlines three options covering different approaches to address the problem (GNSS/ barometric / Mixes approach). ICARUS represents the follow up of such analysis, with the enforcement of the CONOPS proposed in a relevant operational scenario... U-space is a set of new services relying on a high level of digitalisation and automation of functions and specific procedures designed to support safe, efficient and secure access to airspace for large numbers of drones. As such, U-space is an enabling framework designed to facilitate any kind of routine mission, in all classes of airspace and all types of environment - even the most congested - while addressing an appropriate interface with manned aviation and air traffic control... ICARUS project proposes an innovative solution to the challenge of the Common..
