Terra Drone Company, a number one drone and City Air Mobility (UAM) know-how firm headquartered in Japan, is happy to announce that its group firm and a worldwide chief in UAS Visitors Administration (UTM) options, Unifly has efficiently led a technical validation and demonstration of built-in vertiport administration beneath the European joint venture “EUREKA (hereinafter known as “the venture”),” which goals to understand the societal implementation of next-generation air mobility.
In regards to the EUREKA Mission (Observe 1)
The venture is a world joint initiative geared toward establishing an air visitors administration and information-sharing framework compliant with the U-space (Observe 2) regulation, and at growing operational requirements for vertiports in anticipation of the societal implementation of next-generation air mobility.
The venture is led by the SESAR Joint Enterprise(Observe 3), a European collaborative analysis group, and includes participation from 35 firms and establishments, together with AENA (Spain’s airport operator), ENAIRE (Spain’s air navigation service supplier), and EUROCONTROL (the European air visitors administration group).
On the core of the venture is the event and validation of a Vertiport Collaborative Visitors Administration system (VCTM) (Observe 4). The VCTM system is designed to allow real-time sharing and coordination of operational data, reminiscent of scheduled takeoffs and landings or emergency responses, amongst a number of stakeholders concerned in eVTOL operations.
Unifly is collaborating within the EUREKA venture as a U-space service supplier (Observe 5), making use of its intensive experience in UTM programs to the event and validation of the VCTM system.
Overview of the Demonstration
- Date: July 21–22, 2025
- Location: INDRA facility, Madrid, Spain
- Goal: To judge the validity and scalability of the VCTM system beneath simulated real-time operational situations.
- Seamless Interoperability
Assess whether or not real-time and correct data sharing and coordination could be achieved by way of the VCTM system amongst related stakeholders, together with vertiport operators, U-space service suppliers, and customary data service suppliers. - Security and Effectivity
Confirm whether or not the VCTM system can preserve secure and applicable visitors administration each throughout regular operations and in contingency eventualities reminiscent of communication failures, emergency responses, or visitors congestion. - Operator Assist
Consider whether or not the VCTM system successfully helps operators in sustaining situational consciousness and making knowledgeable choices.
As a U-space service supplier, Unifly performed a task in real-time data integration and coordination between vertiport operators and customary data service suppliers. The corporate evaluated the effectiveness of the VCTM system from a technical perspective.
- Efficiently demonstrated superior interoperability amongst vertiport operators, U-space service suppliers, and customary data service suppliers.
- Confirmed the system’s stability and skill to take care of operations throughout communication failures, emergency conditions, and beneath high-traffic conditions.
- Verified the effectiveness of the VCTM system in supporting knowledgeable and well timed decision-making by operators.
Remark from the CEO
Andres Van Swalm, CEO of Unifly said: As Progressive Aerial Mobility turns into a actuality, making certain the secure and environment friendly integration of drones and air taxis into shared airspace is essential. This simulation highlights how collaboration and interoperability between programs are key to constructing a scalable, trusted UTM infrastructure.
Future Outlook
This demonstration marked the fruits of the real-time simulation section throughout the EUREKA venture. The subsequent step will probably be stay demonstrations carried out in real-world operational environments. Unifly will proceed to play a task as a core know-how supplier within the air mobility infrastructure area, contributing to the societal implementation of next-generation air mobility.
