Unmanned aviation from Bremen

As part of the Bremen Bremerhaven City of Aerospace innovation cluster, the state of Bremen successfully supports companies and research institutions in the development and application of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Expertise has been built up in the development and production of hardware and software systems, aircraft design, avionics, navigation and sensor technology. At the same time, the focus is on UAS applications to fulfill a wide range of tasks, such as carrying out sovereign tasks in the German Bight by using drones as carriers of sensor technology or setting up ground stations for UAS. By supporting the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Initiative Nordwestdeutschland and Deutsche Bucht & UAS-Leitstelle Bremen (USSP), the state of Bremen will continue to promote the further development of UAS activities by stakeholders based in the state in cooperation with Lower Saxony.

Bremen aerospace location

In the aerospace industry, more than 140 companies and 20 institutes with around 12,000 employees generate more than 4 billion euros per year. In terms of population, Bremen has the highest employment density in these sectors in Germany. Future-oriented jobs, especially for highly qualified people, characterize the aerospace industry and the aviation sector. Cutting-edge research in the state of Bremen provides sustainable support for industry in areas such as materials science and production technologies, space systems, remote sensing, bionics and robotics.

Advanced Air Mobility Initiative

Overall objective of the project

The aim of the initiative (AAM-NW) is the successive development 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. The aim is to gather experience for the creation of future highly automated operating strategies by linking and integrating UAS Traffic Management (UTM) into existing Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems.

The state of Bremen, with the focus on the UAS control center, and the state of Lower Saxony, with the focus on the flight areas and aeronautical infrastructures, are cooperatively involved here to support the joint upgrading of the airspace for Advanced Air Mobility.

Furthermore, the other northern German federal states (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein) will be integrated in an additive manner, i.e. the planned federal states will develop suitable structures in parallel in order to cooperate with AAM-NW at a later date.

Introduction

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is primarily understood to mean the integration of unmanned or autonomous aircraft into a shared airspace with manned aviation, which offers the possibility of "connecting both metropolitan and rural regions quickly, safely, sustainably and affordably, independently of existing ground-based transport infrastructures". However, smaller UAS are also suitable for performing certain monitoring and transportation tasks, particularly in rural regions.

The German Bight, its islands and neighboring coastal countries offer great potential for testing the operational processes of unmanned aviation with initially lower-risk missions and (smaller) aircraft out of sight and integrating them step by step into existing manned aviation. Particular attention must also be paid to shipping and nature conservation in the German Bight. A successively accumulated wealth of experience through regular UAS operation allows the continuous testing of operational arrangements through to the highly automated coordination of flight movements by a central control center and at the same time promotes confidence in this new technology. This is where the project comes in. Subsequently, the generated know-how will be transformed into areas and missions with higher risk, e.g. in urban areas, higher payloads and also people on board.

Time horizon and expansion stages

Common to all phases is the successive development of the corresponding BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) flight areas. The focus here is on the use and illumination of the very low level airspace (VLL). For the respective expansion stages, coverage by the air situation picture is to be achieved and successively expanded. The corresponding visibility of manned general aviation, air rescue, authorities and organizations with security tasks (BOS) and UAS in BVLOS and VLOS (visual line of sight) operations must be mutually ensured, tested and verified. Especially as these activities require a test operation prior to real operation.

Phase 0 - 2023 Preliminary work of the initiative: Compilation and integration of all relevant airspace participants

Phase 1 - 2024: BVLOS areas Hatten - German Bight incl. trial operation (red map area)

Phase 2 - 2024-2025: BVLOS areas Cuxhaven & Helgoland incl. connection to phase 1 incl. trial operation (blue and green map area)

Phase 3 - 2026-2028: Expansion and connection of further airfields such as East Frisian Islands, Leck and Nordholz incl. trial operation (yellow map area) "From separation to integration"

Phase 4 - Vision 2030 Further development in the respective U-Space(s) set up towards a seamless link to the "U4" of the SESAR ATM master plan from 2035.

Bremen UAS control center (USSP)

Whether for industrial, university, government, security or civilian purposes: the use of

The number of drones will rise sharply in the coming years and will very likely even exceed the volume of manned air traffic. Coordination requires centralized bodies that can initiate collision avoidance and corresponding evasion procedures for unmanned aviation. The EU DVO 2021/664ff provides for a USSP (USSP = U-Space Service Provider), which provides aeronautical services (e.g. flight permits and activation) digitally for drone operators. To enable the AAM NW to contribute to the digital transformation of aviation in this sense, the establishment of a UAS control center (USSP) is planned from Bremen. This control center can protect manned aviation during urgently required missions in VLL airspace through real-time coordination and at the same time open up airspace utilization potential for unmanned aviation.

Christmas greetings from b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH

Christmas b.r.m. Drone

Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, dear friends,

Santa Claus and his trusty VT-4 ray have long since completed their integration into our airspace and the children are once again waiting for his arrival.

This year has also seen a lot of work on integration in unmanned aviation, and perhaps we will soon be able to make Santa's work in the Christmas airspace easier.

As the year 2024 draws to a close, we 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 17-20, 2024. With our Bremen joint stand "Specific Made in Bremen" and numerous partners, we were able to present the UAS activities in Bremen and northern Germany extensively.

In particular, we have shown the initial ideas of our UAS control center Bremen USSP - U-Space Service Provider.

Please take a look. 

The ILA 2024 took place from 05.- 09.06.2024 in Berlin. We presented with the federal state of Bremen in the joint showcase of the northern German states, in CHALET EAST 22 - 24. In close cooperation with the actors of the "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 national and international audience and enjoyed the lively exchange on UTM, ATM, USSP, LUC and other topics.

You can find a brief insight here.
