What does BUBBLES intend to do?

BUBBLES is a project targeting the formulation and validation of a concept of separation management for UAS in the U-space.

A cross cutting

approach

Artificial Intelligence

U-space

Separation of drones

Concept of Operations (ConOps)

Performance monitoring

Initial ConOps for UAS
separation management
Bubbles project is a synergic blend of five outstanding partners coming from the academia, the industry and pan-European institutions
contributing to the safe and efficient use of UAS in the European Sky supported by SESAR JU.
This unique combination will maximize the project impact and future market development.
Safety and Efficiency: the BUBBLES pillars
BUBBLES will define U-space services enabling the safe and efficient operation of large numbers of drones without adversely affecting manned aviation.
The development of the technology, procedures and training have led to a very low rate of accidents in manned aviation (below 3 per million departures), as well as those of incidents. The concept of Performance Based CNS, first introduced by the ICAO for PBN in 1998, has significantly contributed to transform aviation in the safest massive transport system while supporting an exponential increment in the number of flights.

"Bubbles will be a key enabler for the development of U-space, allowing UAS flying within the European Sky as safely as manned aviation does, but much more efficiently"

- Juan Vicente Balbastre / Project Manager –UPV

“A dependable communication system is the bedrock of a trusted U-space supporting the required target level of safety for UAS operations in the VLL”

- Henrique Madeira / Technical Manager – Universidade de Coimbra

“Artificial Intelligence will open the VLL to crowd of UAS using highly autonomous and digitalised systems”

- Luca Iocchi / Work Package Lead – La Sapienza
