Peter Alty EUROCONTROL/PODIUM Project Coordinator

PODIUM and the Big U-space Picture

PODIUM aims:

• Demonstrate U-space services, procedures and technologies at Odense in Denmark, Bretigny and Rodez in France, and Marknesse/Eelde in the Netherlands until mid 2019

• Provide agreed conclusions on the maturity of U-space services and technologies – backed by evidence on flight efficiency, safety, security and human performance metrics etc. – when used in defined operational scenarios and environments

• Provide recommendations on future deployment and for regulations and standards

THE BIG PICTURE?

U-space 8

Focus on VLLAll VLL is divided intoX = low ground risk (no conflict resolution, enables VLOS)Y = higher risk (conflict resolution before flight)

Access only with approved operation planSpecific technical requirements per volume

Z = highest risk (conflict resolution before and during flight)Access only with approved operation planZa = ATC controlled airspaceZu under U-space
