Thales - PanelViewing the Stratosphere – A Graduate’s Perspective
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.

AIRBORNE ROBOTICSDrSUIT - Drone Swarm for Uncrewed Inspection of Offshore Wind Turbines
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.

Helix GeospaceThe importance of GNSS integrity for BVLOS navigation
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.

Continental Engineering ServicesAutomotive Sensors Enabling Perception for Drones
Driver Assistance features in the automotive domain utilise sensors such as Cameras and RADARs to perceive the operating environment. These sensors are reliable and safety rated to enable autonomous maneuvers on the road. The same sensors can be applied to enable safe and reliable drone operations such as Autonomous Landing & in-air obstacle avoidance. A glimpse of such use cases is presented here.

CAV SystemsWhatever the Weather: Ice Protection for sUAS and Drones
Adverse weather conditions, particularly in-flight icing, will be a significant hurdle for small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) or drone applications to overcome in the future. Therefore,reducing ice accretion using an ice protection system is critical. This presentation outlines research and system development carried out by CAV Systems to address this issue and provide an effective, low-powered ice protection scalable solution.
