Thales - Panel

A team of Thales graduates and apprentices have recently delivered a project to stream real-time video footage from the Perlan 2 glider during its world record attempt for the highest-ever crewed, wing-borne flight this Summer. The Thales team developed a connectivity demonstrator that was mounted in the glider as it soared into the stratosphere aiming to reach over 90,000 ft. In this session, a group of those engineers will share their lessons learned from this innovation project.

DrSUIT, an end-to-end autonomy solution for offshore wind turbine inspections, operates an uncrewed vessel carrying a swarm of drones, controlled from the onshore control centre, in order to inspect multiple offshore wind turbines simultaneously. According to the adaptive, real-time scheduling & routing model for coordinated interplay of uncrewed vessel and UAVs, DrSUIT allows for multi-sensor data collection for 3D asset reconstruction, increased inspection efficiency and scale with minimal Co2 footprint.

Our presentation focuses on the critical role of GNSS integrity in realising the extensive possibilities of BVLOS operations. We emphasise the significance of preserving the resilience of GNSS data to effectively address risks linked to signal disruptions, interference, or spoofing. We discuss advanced antenna methodology and monitoring systems that enable real-time precision positioning. These measures safeguard against navigation errors, path deviations, conserve energy, and prevent accidents caused by innocent positioning.
