This initiative, part of the MISIONES 2024 Programme, has enabled the development of key technologies for the integration of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles in urban environments. CATEC has played a prominent role in this initiative, being responsible for the development of autonomous task management algorithms in multi-UAV systems, among other things.
We were also responsible for the operational authorization of the flight, which was the result of an extensive and complex preparation process carried out in close collaboration with the Telespazio Ibérica drone team as the end user.
The project has received €30,000 in funding and will enable UAS operators to conduct their flight campaigns at our facilities without having to obtain prior authorisation from the Aviation Safety Agency.
On July 2, CATEC a demonstration and training day at the Lourizán Forestry Research Center (Pontevedra) as part of the European Hub Iberia Agrotech (HIBA+) project. The event focused on the use of UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) technologies applied to precision agriculture, in collaboration with DATAlife, also a partner in the project.
From June 16 to 22, CATEC took part in the 55th edition of the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, the largest aerospace fair in Europe, with its own stand located within the Spanish Pavilion of TEDAE (the Spanish Association of Technological Companies in Defense, Security, Aeronautics, and Space).
CATEC's Head of Avionics and Systems, Antidio Viguria, shares this opinion column on the deployment of innovative air mobility and the minimum necessary infrastructure, which, in his opinion, should focus on two key aspects: vertiports and CNS systems.
From February 18th to 20th we will be present with ATLAS Flight Center at the XPONENTIAL Europe 2025 fair, which will be held in the German city of Dusseldorf.
Our Experimental Flight Center has attended as exhibitor the Airspace [...]
