The Smart Skies project

The Smart Skies project is an ambitious and world-leading research endeavor exploring the development of key enabling technologies, which support the efficient utilization of airspace by manned and unmanned airspace users. This provides a programmatic description of the research and development of: an automated separation management system; a mobile aircraft tracking system; and aircraft-based sense-and-ad technologies. A summary of the results from a series of real-world flight testing campaigns is also presented.
