A stakeholder workshop was held in Tartu to develop a U-space sandbox for automated aviation systems.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

TARTU, ESTONIA \u2013 June 30, 2023. The Estonian Transport Administration, with funding from the Estonian Business and Innovation Agency, has launched a project to develop a concept for a U-space sandbox. The project commenced last April and recently conducted a workshop in Tartu to discuss the sandbox and to collect feedback on its economic development. Workshop attendees reviewed preliminary operational concepts for testing and validating U-space services and discussed market and exploitation ideas for attracting users.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ANRA Technologies O\u00dc (ANRA), in partnership with the Tartu Science Park (TSP) Foundation, who were awarded a contract to develop a sandbox concept for U-space systems, led the daylong workshop hosted at TSP office facilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ANRA leads the first phase of the project for developing and integrating U-space and Common Information services for the project named CACTUS (Competent Authority Coordinating Testing in U-space Sandbox). ANRA will provide all the necessary foundational infrastructure to enable the interaction of the various U-space services and exchange data with stakeholders in the ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important for the Estonian Transport Administration to ensure that all interested parties have access to modern and versatile infrastructure for testing and validating any necessary solutions for the development of various innovative technologies, said \u00dcllar Salum\u00e4e, Director of Aviation at the Estonian Transport Administration.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Establishing a sandbox will open opportunities for the wide-scale development and deployment of uncrewed aviation technologies. This will prepare the way for innovative aviation concepts and safety standards and facilitate the safe testing of automated aviation systems. The long-term aim is to create an environment for technologies that bridge all key stakeholders, including airspace users, industrial companies, and research institutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m honoured that ANRA has the privilege of leading the U-space sandbox effort for Estonia, stated Amit Ganjoo, Founder and CEO of ANRA. The workshop is testament to the innovative and collaborative environment in Estonia.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
