Ladies and Gentlemen,

Dear friends and colleagues,

Santa Claus and his faithful reindeer have long since completed their integration into our airspace and the children are once again waiting for his arrival.

There has also been a lot of work on integration in unmanned aviation this year and perhaps we will soon be able to make it easier for Rudolph and his buddies to work in the Christmas airspace.

As 2023 draws to a close, I would like to give you a brief review of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) highlights that have moved us:

The AERO aviation trade fair took place in Friedrichshafen from April 19-22, 2023. With the joint stand "Specific Made in Bremen" and numerous partners, we were able to comprehensively present the capacities and activities in Bremen and northern Germany. Please take a look.

The 54th Paris Air Show took place in early summer. In close cooperation with the stakeholders of "Bremen - City of Aerospace", we were able to present the topic "U-Space Reallabor Nord-Westdeutschland und Deutsche Bucht & UAS-Leitstelle Bremen (USSP)" to a European and international audience and enjoyed the lively exchange on UTM, ATM and other topics. You can find a short insight here.

The 13th National Maritime Conference in Bremen on September 14 and 15, 2023 presented a wide range of innovations for the maritime world. Here we were able to shed extensive light on the cross-cutting topic of unmanned aviation in a maritime context. Impressions

Over the course of the year, we won the SKADRO project (Scalable Drone Communication Systems for U-Space Areas) and are currently in the middle of implementing it together with our partners from the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute and TU Berlin.Find out more.

Back in May, we were able to test the project idea "U-Space Reallabor Nord-Westdeutschland und Deutsche Bucht & UAS-Leitstelle Bremen (USSP)" with an initial launch around our Hatten-UAS German Flight Center at Oldenburg-Hatten airfield (EDWH).

As part of a comprehensive permit, we now have 3600 km² of flying area available for BVLOS operations.(Details)

This approval has also been granted for 2024 and we are looking forward to more exciting UAS campaigns in the new year.

b.r.m. IT & Aerospace wishes you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

StartUP! your UAS mission in 2024

We (the North) are taking off and b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH is part of it.

See the really great movie of the WFB Bremen in the following link.

Current topics such as Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), UAS control center Bremen USSP (U-Space Service Provider), "Hatten-UAS" at the Oldenburg-Hatten airfield or the U-Space real laboratory North-West Germany & German Bight are driving us forward.

At b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH, these topics are the responsibility of MaximilianStrauß and MarkusRossol.

The colleagues at b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH work in cooperation with committed and well-known companies to make "The North" indispensable for European aerospace in the next 100 years.

We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas.

Harald Rossol

The bottom line is complete success. Lower Saxony and Bremen must remain as one of the leading locations for aerospace and be further expanded.

For b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH and the Oldenburg-Hatten airfield, the day in the far north was a complete success. Mr. Harald Rossol and Mr. Markus Rossol represented the aviation and digitalization activities in Stade at the annual network meeting Niedersachsen Aviation.

The stand of b.r.m. attracted a great deal of interest from the invited trade visitors and interesting, detailed discussions were held with Mr. Olaf Lies, Minister of Economic Affairs of Lower Saxony, among others. IT & Aerospace stand.

The IFAM with Tim Strohbach, the Bremen aviation cluster Aviaspace e.V with Julian Hofhans and Jannis Balke, Airbus with Götz Anspach von Broecker and the flight school Borkum GmbH were represented at our stand.

We would like to thank everyone involved and look forward to next year.

In the North German network, companies and cluster initiatives in the aerospace industry jointly implement interesting events and numerous projects.

One of these is the Hatten-UAS project at Oldenburg-Hatten airfield, which is being led by Harald Rossol, Managing Director of b.r.m. IT & Aerospace, and his partnerMarkus Rossol in Lower Saxony and neighboring federal states.

Prof. Christian Denker from the Jade University of Applied Sciences presented an approach to barrel management with the support of UAS.

The Oldenburg-Hatten airfield aims to professionalize drone operations and testing. Harald Rossol sees great potential in flight guidance and "U-Space" concepts, which provide for the integration of drones (UAS) into existing air traffic. The video provides an insight into the idea of a "U-Space Reallabor Nord-Westdeutschland und Deutsche Bucht & UAS-Leitstelle Bremen USSP", which primarily involves the establishment of airspace structures within which the operation of UAS is considerably simplified and automated and safety is increased, taking into account all relevant airspace users.

Harald Rossol considers the interaction between IT and aviation to be a very important core element for the successful development and implementation of the Advanced Air Mobility strategy.

"The video is part of a meet-up event with Aviaspace Bremen"

The annual network meeting of Niedersachsen Aviation is an integral part of the year. The annual network meeting is regarded as a networking platform for Lower Saxony's aviation and aerospace industry.

A great program with great speakers will be offered again this year.

One of this year's highlights is certainly the participation of b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH in the video competition of the aerospace cluster.

In Stade, on site, b.r.m. IT & Aerospace will be represented by Mr. Harald Rossol and Mr. Markus Rossol. Both are of course looking forward to interesting and exciting discussions.

Visit us...

It's that time again. Every year the general meeting of the UAV DACH e.V. takes place. This year from snowy Braunschweig

UAV DACH e.V. is the largest German-speaking professional association on the subject of "commercial UAS use". The interests of the drone economy are regularly represented to the public here. Our Mr. Markus Rossol is also a member of the board

The b.r.m. IT & Aerospace is very pleased to participate in the video competition of the Aerospace Cluster Niedersachsen Aviation on December 04, 2023.

We realize ideas with the Hatten-UAS project at the Oldenburg-Hatten EDWH airfield to demonstrate solutions for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and the U-Space real laboratory to be developed.

We support Hatten-UAS with an end-to-end digitalization strategy through the b.r.m. UAS control center Bremen USSP to demonstrate ATM and UTM solutions at a commercial airfield.

We wish all participants in the Niedersachsen Aviation video competition every success and a great network meeting. We would like to thank all LNC employees for their activities.

MarkusRossol is represented at the accompanying exhibition and we are looking forward to many good discussions.

Today, b.r.m.'s team of 5 GDPR experts came together. Under the leadership of Mr. Harald Rossol, Mr. Markus Rossol and Mr. Marius Ammermann, b.r.m. received the DIN SPEC 27076 certificate today.

The certificate was presented by the external security experts Mr. Thorsten Brendel and Mr. Daniel Köster.

But this is only the beginning of the safe path...

The timetable for the upcoming ISO 27001 audit and certification was also defined today. The project is expected to take a very short time.

This can simply be attributed to the very good and existing certifications, guidelines, management systems and assets at b.r.m.. The imminent turn of the year at b.r.m. is "standardized"

In manned air traffic, aircraft are supported by the tower during take-off and landing, in addition to the technology on board and on the ground. It is an integral part of a clear organizational structure and an indispensable part of everyday processes in airspace. According to the Implementing Regulation and EASA, these elements should also be fulfilled for unmanned air traffic in the established U-Space, the airspace for drones, with the help of a USSP.

The USSP: Combination of ATM and UTM

The U-Space Service Provider, USSP for short, will take on key tasks in future. For example, the USSP will take care of registration and deregistration, approving the planning of flight routes and navigating the drones by exchanging information. The Bremen-based company b.r.m. IT & Aerospace is currently conducting a USSP feasibility study, which aims to make the establishment of a U-Space Service Provider more efficient. Furthermore, the company is to be known as b.r.m. UAS control center Bremen (USSP) and make the airspace clearer and safer. In order to fulfill these tasks of a USSP, it must use the ATM and UTM management systems.

Air Traffic Management, or ATM for short, is used in manned aviation. The essential prerequisites for this system are Air Space Management (ASM), Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) and Air Traffic Services (ATS). ASM sorts the airspace into the various airspace uses. These include, for example, civil aviation and military aviation. The ATFM is responsible for planning and controlling air traffic. The system is designed to ensure safety, order and efficiency. The ATS is responsible for air traffic control, for example air traffic control. In Germany, this task is carried out by German Air Traffic Control (DFS).

Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) is responsible for regulating unmanned air traffic. Unmanned air traffic includes unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), i.e. drones. UAS are subject to different conditions that make communication much more difficult. Furthermore, there are different operating modes for drones, such as Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS), which means that drones can also be controlled outside the pilot's field of vision. To ensure that drones can fly alongside manned aircraft despite these differences, flawless communication and coordination is required. This is made possible by the automated and digitalized exchange of information through the USSP, so that drone flights can also become routine. The UTM is therefore an extension of the ATM. U-Space is the European approach to building a UTM.

If you have any questions about U-Space, please contact Mr. Markus Rossol.

A complete success for the maritime world, for Bremen, Germany and Europe.

The summary of our Mr. Rossol, Managing Director of b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH, is as follows: "We were able to show a solution for the maritime world with our UAS (drone), with the project idea U-Space Reallabor Nordwestdeutschland & Deutsche Bucht and with the UAS control center Bremen USSP (U-Space Service Provider)."

"Future Aviation. Future Space. Future SMEs": Sustainability, digitalization and transformation. A central challenge.

A great conference program with its speakers, moderators and discussions led to a successful conclusion of the "17th Day of German Aerospace Regions" in Stuttgart.

Our Markus Rossol (b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH) was accompanied here by Mr. Tim Strohbach (IFAM), Julian Hofhans (Aviaspace Bremen e.V.) and Mr. Andreas Eickhoff (The Senator for Economics, Ports and Transformation Consultant Industry & Aviation Cluster).
