DTA industry partner of the Unmanned Cargo Aircraft conference 2021

The DTA is industrial partner of the 10th edition of the international Unmanned Cargo Aircraft conference (https://unmannedcargoaircraftconference.com/), which will be held online next November 2nd, 2021.

This conference is a unique opportunity for the DTA to deal with very engaging and innovative unmanned cargo aircraft topics directly with aircraft operators and service providers and promote the Grottaglie Airport Test Bed program within the community of potential users, researchers, engineers, developers and end users.

Thanks to the partnership with UCA conference, the DTA intends to promote the development of the Grottaglie Airport Test Bed program. Grottaglie airport is the right place for unmanned aerial systems testing in real flight conditions and in a topographically and climatically favorable environment that supports different operating modes such as VLOS, BVLOS and BRLOS. The airport is part of a logistical context consisting of other airfields, rural areas, towns and cities, conditions that simplify the experimentation of cargo services. In this context, the DTA is already operating by contributing to the Italian demonstration of the CORUS-XUAM project, aimed at experimenting the integration of the ATM and U-Space system for cargo operations with UCA (the demonstration will be held in June 2022, for more information https://corus-xuam.eu/). Furthermore, the DTA intends to experiment transport services with unmanned aircraft also within the urban area of the city of Bari.

The Unmanned Cargo Aircraft Conference, in fact, focuses on UCA development projects and potential applications. The topics include UCA business models, configurations (large/medium size, last mile delivery, urban space delivery and medical drones), Air Traffic Management, regulatory issues and other cross-sector subjects. The conference aims to bring together manufacturers, operators, knowledge institutes, consultants, shippers and governmental organizations active in the upcoming field of unmanned cargo aircraft.
