Skill description part 2 "Operating modes for unmanned aircraft systems"

When it comes to unmanned aerial systems (UAS), b.r.m. IT & Aerospace distinguishes between three main operating modes, each of which offers specific application possibilities and safety requirements.

VLOS (Visual Line of Sight) operations form the basis for training, type certification, and basic testing. EVLOS (Extended Visual Line of Sight) operations extend the operational range through structured observer concepts. BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operations enable project-related long-range testing in accordance with SORA procedures in close coordination with aviation authorities.

To ensure safe and approvable operation, b.r.m. conducts comprehensive air and ground risk analyses in accordance with the European SORA procedure. These form the basis for the corresponding ConOps (Concept of Operations), which defines all operational and safety processes.

The b.r.m.'s UAS control center USSP in Bremen uses its own sensor network to ensure the digital visualization of all airspace participants. This provides an up-to-date picture of the air situation and enables the safe "mixed" operation of manned and unmanned systems – a core capability for the future European U-Space.

With three decades of IT experience and its own green IT data center operations, b.r.m. has the necessary digital fundamentals for modern aviation processes. b.r.m. IT & Aerospace supports organizations in obtaining the necessary operating permits from aviation authorities—including for UAS operations that were not previously possible.
