Cottbus Neuhausen

Upgrading the Cottbus/Neuhausen airfield (EDAP) - concept for drone operations beyond visual range

The Cottbus Neuhausen airfield is being developed into a modern aviation-related business location. This includes paving and lighting the runway, taxiways and apron. The site will be equipped with charging infrastructure for electric aircraft and a 5G campus network. In addition, the operation of unmanned aerial systems within a radius of 10 km is to be integrated into regular flight operations. The municipality of Neuhausen/Spree is aiming to introduce integrative operations beyond visual line of sight of the remote pilot (BVLOS) in accordance with EU Regulation 2021/664. This requires the creation of a comprehensive operational concept that covers all technical, organizational and safety-relevant aspects and meets the requirements of the regulation as well as the standards of the responsible aviation authority.

Revaluation

Application

of the permit and the accompanying certification with the responsible aviation authority.

The goal

The aim of the project is to develop an operational concept for BVLOS operations around the Cottbus Neuhausen airfield (EDAP) that can be approved. The concept is to define technical, organizational and safety-related prerequisites as well as hardware and software requirements for the safe and efficient operation of UAS. The main take-off and landing point is the Cottbus Neuhausen airfield, using existing flight operations facilities (integrative approach). Operations are to be guaranteed by a future U-Space Service Provider (USSP).

The implementation

In order to achieve the project objective, a BVLOS operating concept must be developed for the Cottbus Neuhausen airfield (10 km radius) that meets the requirements of the LuftVG, LuftVO and EU Regulation 2019/947. UAS up to 100 kg are to be integrated. The following points must be observed:

  • Air traffic coordination: measures for air traffic management and collision avoidance, interaction with air traffic services, manned aircraft, and emergency situations.
  • Technical requirements: Definition of hardware and software requirements, communication systems, flight monitoring, collision avoidance and data processing.
  • Security measures: Data protection and security protocols, risk assessment and countermeasures.
  • Implementation: Detailed schedule for implementation and testing.

Our contribution

Droniq supports the project by creating a comprehensive operating concept for BVLOS operations. This includes determining the technical requirements (hardware and software), developing safety guidelines and emergency plans, preparing the necessary safety certificates and carrying out a test operation.
Furthermore, all the necessary documents for the permit application are prepared and the approval with the responsible aviation authority is accompanied.

More projects & customer stories

Customer story
ABGnova

Surveying and inspecting construction sites, as well as checking the progress of construction, can be done faster, more accurately and more economically by drone.
Customer story
Evonik

Drones are a valuable tool for the plant fire department or plant security. Droniq trained Evonik employees at three sites in the theory and practice of safe handling of these unmanned aerial vehicles.
Customer story
DFMG Deutsche Funkturm

Droniq advised Deutsche Funkturm on the aerial flight of the Berlin TV tower by drone to collect data for a detailed 3D model and ensured the necessary approvals - an enormous challenge from an aviation law perspective.
Customer story
FlyNex / MITNETZ STROM

Power lines have to be inspected regularly for bird nests and erosion - a time-consuming and costly task. For Mitnetz Strom, FlyNex flew a route by drone, Droniq supported with the HOD4track.
Customer story
LARUS

How can a drone find drowning victims on the open sea? That's what the LARUS project investigated. Thanks to Droniq's aerial situational awareness, dangerous approaches with manned air traffic could be avoided.
Customer story
Thyssengas

The pipeline network of the gas transport network operator Thyssengas covers around 4,200 km. The pipelines have to be flown regularly - this will be done by drones in the future. Droniq supports this with an LTE modem (HOD4track) as well as aerial displays of the relevant air traffic in the vicinity.
Customer story
Röhm plant fire department

The integration of drones into Röhm's work processes has given rise to new challenges. Not only is the process for issuing an operating permit complex, but the creation of a mandatory operating description is also extensive and requires in-depth knowledge of drone and aviation law.

Customer story
Wingcopter

What would otherwise be done by a small truck can be done much faster, quieter and more environmentally friendly by drone. Wingcopter tested a transport of samples from a plant to the central laboratory for the industrial company Merck.
Project
5G: City. Country. Save lives

5G: City. Country. Saving Lives is a BMDV-sponsored funding project that focuses on further improving the rescue chain with the help of the new 5G mobile communications technology. From emergency calls to first aid to the work of the emergency services. The potential users are the citizens who benefit from a more effective rescue operation. More effective means more targeted and faster. Of course, the alarmed emergency services also benefit from improved information provision. The concepts to be developed start before and after the arrival of the rescue forces, i.e. the affected emergency patient, the person reporting an emergency call or the first responder. Emergency responders benefit at the following points: Control centers, managers of the emergency organizations and the rescue forces (fire department and rescue service) themselves.
Project
ADAM

With the growing relevance of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), the requirements for the environmental detection of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are constantly increasing. Static obstacles must be reliably detected, especially for ground-level missions. While 3D maps are established for autonomous driving, methods for machine-readable digitization of the lower airspace must be developed for UAM in order to create the redundancies required for Beyond-Visual-Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) flight.

Project
Advanced Air Mobility Initiative Northwest Germany & German Bight (AAM-NW)

The aim of the project is to create a coordinated airspace for both manned and unmanned aviation and to enable their use.

Project
AMI-PGS

AMI-PGS (Air Mobility Initiative - Positioning & Guidance Systems) has as its overall objective to enable the integration of eVTOLs into existing air traffic and thus increase the safety and efficiency of aircraft movements. AMI-PGS is part of the Air Mobility Initiative (AMI), which is funded by the Free State of Bavaria and the Federal Republic of Germany and initiates a number of research projects.

DRONIQlive: How drones help to rescue fawns

Rescuing fawns with the help of drones is a hot topic. Every spring, farmers start mowing their fields and unfortunately fawns are often caught by the mowing machines without being detected.

Drones can be a great help in saving the animals! Equipped with thermal imaging cameras, drone pilots can spot the animals from the air before it is too late. This allows farmers, hunters or other helpers to rescue the fawns in good time.

In our next edition of DRONIQlive on Thu, 23.05.2024 at 7 pm, we will take a closer look at this topic. We look forward to your participation!
