Enabling autonomous and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operation
of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in the Very Low Level (VLL) airspace requires
further advancement of technologies such as sensing the environment or secure and reliable
communication. This paper addresses these challenges by presenting solutions developed within
the project Airborne Data Collection on Resilient System Architectures (ADACORSA). Here,
findings from cross-sectional areas such as the automotive industry are being further enhanced
to fulfill the demands of aviation, in particular for use in the UAV domain. The developed
technologies include an advanced Ethernet-based deterministic network for reliable onboard
communication, a multi-sensor architecture for sensing the spatial environment as well as a
multi-link communication gateway that provides reliable communication to the ground and a
secure handover architecture.ADACORSA has received funding from the ECSEL Joint Undertaking (JU) and National
Authorities under grant agreement No 876019. Follow www.adacorsa.eu for more informatio
