The i2b meet-up on the civilian use of drones takes place today from 18:00. Last chance to take part in the event. You can follow the event both on site and via livestream. Harald Rossol, founder and managing director of b.r.m. IT & Aerospace, will make important contributions to current developments and the future of drone traffic.
As already announced, the i2b meet-up on the topic of "Civilian use of drones" will take place in Bremen next Tuesday, February 21, 2023.
The topics will be "U-Space Reallabore Norddeutschland und Deutsche Bucht" and the "UAS-Leitstelle Bremen (USSP)". The city of Bremen, as a location for manned and, above all, unmanned aviation, and the integration of drones into the airspace will of course also be on the agenda. Harald Rossol, founder and Managing Director of b.r.m. IT & Aerospace, has published an announcement video on the new Instagram account b.r.m. Bremen published. At the meet-up, Rossol will open the subsequent panel discussion with a keynote speech. The entrepreneur will also talk about the completed VTOL-EGM project and the Hatten-UAS test center. The event can be followed via livestream from 18:00.
The Aviaspace Bremen e.V. association has already visited the Oldenburg-Hatten EDWH airfield, where the Hatten-UAS test center is located. There is an article about this on YouTube. Not only have countless drones been tested by customers at the airfield, but also the Rochen VT in the VTOL-EGM project. The airfield is ideally suited for manned and unmanned flying objects due to its location advantages.
On Tuesday, February 21, 2023, the i2b meet-up entitled "Civilian use of drones" will take place in Bremen. The event can be followed both on site and in a live broadcast.
It is essentially about the project platform "U-Space Reallabore Norddeutschland und Deutsche Bucht & UAS-Leitstelle Bremen (USSP)" and Bremen as a location for unmanned aviation. The smooth operation of manned and unmanned aviation is absolutely essential. A U-Space Service Provider is required to ensure that the integration can take place safely.
At the event, well-known faces from the aviation industry will also report on their companies and present new ideas. Founder and entrepreneur Harald Rossol will introduce the subsequent panel discussion with a presentation and also take part in the discussion. Another topic will be the successfully completed VTOL-EGM project, which was developed by b.r.m. IT & Aerospace and two other institutions.

The IT service provider b.r.m., together with Droniq GmbH and IFAM, held a workshop on the U-Space North-West platform and USSP Bremen on 26.01.2023. This presentation was held at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Applied Materials Research (IFAM).
The presentation was given by Emily Pfister, Sales & Business Development Manager at Droniq GmbH, Tim Strohbach, scientist at IFAM, and Harald Rossol, Managing Director and founder of the Bremen-based IT service provider b.r.m. The workshop participants included several interested parties, including the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS), which would benefit enormously from the use of drones in the North Sea. After the welcome and a round of introductions, the presentation of the U-Space North-West & USSP Bremen and the current status of the implementation of the U-Space regulation followed.
There was also an exchange of views on current developments and the assessment of events in Germany. It was noted that there is still a long way to go before the EU regulation on U-Space, which recently came into force, is formulated in German law. This makes it all the more important to test BVLOS and VLOS in real laboratories.
The speakers then spoke to the workshop participants about the use of BVLOS in test centers. They explained about the Helgoland test center and ODCC and shared previous results and experiences. In addition, the Hatten EDWH airfield and the nearby flight school were identified as the perfect location for the Hatten-UAS test center.
As the EU regulation also mentions the involvement of local bodies and public participation procedures, the speakers at the workshop also presented the UAS Control Center Bremen USSP and the U-Space Reallabore Norddeutschland.
Finally, there was an outlook for the coming years and an appeal to politicians, authorities, science and research, etc. Participation opportunities for the participants were then presented in a list. You can also follow us on Instagram @brm_IT_Aerospace.
Developments in industry and retail mean that logistics must inevitably adapt. The trend towards Industry 4.0 and Retail 4.0 is creating new challenges for logistics companies. The use of drones has already proven its worth in search and rescue operations in the USA and is set to be used in a wide range of industries in the future. The use of drones could therefore also become an integral part of Logistics 4.0.
Drones are already being used in the areas of spare parts and emergency logistics. There, they impress with reliable deliveries to hard-to-reach locations such as high-altitude mountain stations and oil platforms. When these aircraft need spare parts, other spare parts suppliers are on hand. These service companies have specialized in these cases and offer a special speed service. The logistics specialists bring the required parts directly to the drone and repair them on site.
Optimal logistics with the use of drones consists of the fusion of automatic evasion systems, autonomous delivery and storage. In some logistics companies, storage is already fully autonomous with the help of moving robots.
Delivery by drone could take place in the near future, as it is a rapidly growing technology and is becoming very popular. Many experts predict that more than 80% of deliveries will soon be covered by cargo drones. The drone market is booming and the global volume was already worth USD 30.6 billion in 2022. The further development of technology should also mean that heavy goods can be transported with the highest level of security. Long-haul drone flights with an aircraft size comparable to an A320 will then distribute goods across the globe. The website statista.com therefore forecasts a market volume of USD 55.8 billion by 2030.
As a drone operator's license will be mandatory for most types of drones from 01.01.2023, operators should also be aware of the CE classes.
According to the new EU drone law, every drone is divided into a class. The general principle is: the greater the risk during operation, the higher the class. The seven classes are C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6. In most overviews of the classes, only classes C0 to C4 are shown, as the last two CE classes are based on the C3 class. A C3 drone can be upgraded to the C5 class with the help of certified components. However, the C5 and C6 classes have no height limit and no geo-awareness system. For the C5 class, a type of air brake must be installed in the flying object so that the speed is reduced before a crash.
The CE classes are clearly separated from each other and provide a certain overview. Each EU member state must provide binding data on the local no-fly zones and restricted areas. The data is then compiled and a standardized Europe-wide format is developed. The information contained in this format is then communicated to C1, C2 and C3 UAS pilots before take-off.
In addition, drone manufacturers are obliged to classify their drones into the relevant CE classes themselves and mark them accordingly on the drone. This means that the operator does not have to classify their drone when purchasing it, but they are only obliged to have the latest version of the formats to hand.

Strategic Deconfliction ensures analysis and the maximum number of safe flights. The system forms the basis for improving flight safety and the number of flights.
To ensure a safe flight, there are controllers who ensure that the minimum distance between aircraft is maintained. However, to ensure that the controllers are not overloaded, a limited area is allocated to each controller team. These areas in turn reduce and limit the number of flights per hour.
EUROCONTROL is responsible for compliance with these airport capacity restrictions and the coordination of flights. It has the task of ensuring these restrictions. The organization also checks whether further flights are possible in a departure time window. If the minimum distance to be maintained is met and the capacity restriction is complied with at the same time, the departure times are reassigned. However, if the minimum distance between the aircraft cannot be guaranteed, a conflict arises. In the event of a conflict, the controller has the task of keeping the pilot and his aircraft at a distance. This additional work places an additional burden on the controller and reduces the capacity of his work area, resulting in additional costs.
NASA has launched the Strategic Deconfliction flight safety system to reduce these conflicts in future. This conflict solution is based on data sets, sector boundaries, airport characteristics and trajectories. Trajectories are air paths that a single airborne particle passes through in a certain period of time. These components are entered into a diagram and the most efficient compromise is determined.
The data sets also include delay costs, conflict costs and constraints, all of which are included in the best possible trade-off between conflict reduction and delay. NASA has carried out a detailed analysis of the performance of strategic deconfliction. This basis then models the Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM).

To improve safety in airspace, there are detection technologies that alert the pilot and then cause them to take evasive action. This technology will be particularly essential for unmanned air traffic. One example of such technology is the Detect and Avoid Radar and the Due Regard Radar. EASA is also proposing such systems.
The Detect and Avoid Radar (DAA) enables the operator of a remotely piloted flying object to safely integrate their unmanned system into non-segregated airspace. It improves the detection of the pilot through a system that surpasses the human eye in terms of range, probability of detection and accuracy.
This ensures increased flight safety and the detection of every flying object in the airspace. This technology is also weatherproof and can be used regardless of the weather.
The Due Regard Radar (DRR) is an air-to-air radar designed to allow remotely piloted aircraft to fly in international airspace. The DRR consists of an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) antenna with two panels and a Radar Electronics Assembly (REA). The system enables the pilot of the remote-controlled aircraft to recognize aircraft over the same field of view as a normal pilot. It virtually replaces the pilot's eyes. This technology allows the system to track multiple targets while continuing to search for new aircraft. Flight tests have been carried out with both manned and unmanned aircraft.
DRR is ultimately a key component of the entire aircraft Detect and Avoid architecture. The DAA must be able to detect aircraft with and without transponders and then take evasive action. The detection and tracking of cooperative (transponder-equipped) aircraft is performed, for example, by the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B).

The first RotorDrone Forum took place in November 2015 and has been successfully continued ever since. The forum is all about unmanned aviation.
The Hubschrauberzentrum e.V. is the support association of the helicopter museum in Bückeburg. The association brings together helicopter enthusiasts, technicians, pilots, engineers, entrepreneurs, scientists and interested parties. The center has promoted scientific exchange through the helicopter forum and is now extending it to unmanned aviation.
The Verband Hubschrauberzentrum e.V. has organized the next forum together with Achim Friedl, Chairman of the Board of UAV DACH e.V. In 2023, the event will take place on 26.01 and 27.01 at the Bückeburg Helicopter Museum. Visitors can look forward to interesting discussions and presentations.
The RotorDrone Forum provides an exciting program with various topics. The first day will focus on U-Space - integration of drones into air traffic as well as technical requirements and EU conformity testing. Among the speakers are entrepreneurs, heads of institutions and representatives of the Federal Ministry and the German Armed Forces.
The second day of the forum will focus on the environment, safety and efficiency of drone operations as well as the topic of advanced air mobility. The speakers include professors, doctors and managing directors.

The terms MTOM and payload are an elementary component of safety during and before the flight. They are very important, as flying objects can crash if both values are not observed.
In aviation, the acronym MTOM describes the maximum take-off mass of a flying object. In other words, the weight with which the aircraft can take off without being impaired. The prescribed safety margins must also be observed.
The take-off weight is made up of various components. These include the fuel, which includes the mainline fuel as well as the reserve and taxi fuel. In addition to the empty weight, the payload is also included.
The permissible payload is the maximum permissible total mass. The payload of an aircraft usually includes the cargo, passengers and baggage. When loading an aircraft, attention is paid to the distribution of the weight so that the center of gravity is centered on the wings. With the optimum weight distribution, the aircraft not only consumes less fuel, but is also easier to fly.
With regard to vertical take-off flying objects, also known as VTOL, the shift of the center of gravity must be taken into account for the payload. For drones with four or more rotors arranged horizontally in a line, the center of gravity should be in the middle of the drone. The effects are then no different than with airplanes. As with helicopters, the payload of drones should not exceed the lift force of the rotors. Otherwise a complete take-off is not possible.
You can learn even more basic knowledge about airplanes in the pilot training course at Flugschule Borkum GmbH.
