Project Icarus
Integrated Common Altitude Reference system for U–space
The ICARUS project proposes a GNSS based altimetry solution to the challenge of the Common Altitude Reference system for drones at very low level airspace, through the identification of the navigation requirements applicable to Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and the definition of a new U-space service for UAS / Manned aircrafts altitude translation.
The ICARUS concept will be validated in a real operational environment, providing feedbacks and refinements to the initial definition. A final Concept of Operations (CONOPS) will be generated in the second part of the project.
Project funding
This project has received funding from the SESAR Joint Undertaking under the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement N° 894593.
