Advanced air mobility (AAM) is a rapidly emerging aerospace sector aiming to integrate highly automated aircraft as well as electric and hybrid aircraft, including using large intelligently coordinated drone systems for sustainable cargo transport. The EU-funded EUSOME project aims to energise AAM research and innovation in Southeast Europe, addressing specific regional challenges. EUSOME’s consortium integrates expertise from research entities, aircraft manufacturers, civil aviation authorities, public agencies, technology transfer specialists and civil society. It will bring AAM to the forefront of transportation planning in the region with a research infrastructure, an action plan for adoption of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s recommendations on AAM, and a vibrant mentoring and training programme.

TRITON aspires to develop a system that will enable autonomous drone operations targeting activities taking place in a port. This project opens up brand new value propositions wholly unrelated to the way drone technology is currently being utilized in the maritime domain. The most important step forward in the TRITON project relies on the fact that the drones will autonomously navigate, and more importantly, automatically recognise moving obstacles in the port’s airspace in order to reconfigure their flight paths to avoid midair collisions.
