Hatten-UAS - The testing center for UAS

Hatten-UAS German Flight Center, the test center for UAS at Oldenburg Hatten EDWH airfield. Located in the Bremen-Oldenburg metropolitan region, Hatten Airfield Oldenburg-Hatten EDWH was founded in 1963 and has been operated continuously as an airfield of regional importance. The site covers 16 hectares, the hangar area has approx. 5,500 square meters, an AVGAS/petrol filling station is available, as well as the tower and a restaurant.

The airfield is approved for single and multi-engine aircraft up to 2.0 MTOW, as well as all helicopters up to 5.7 MTOW.

Flying schools offer pilot training for UL, gliding, powered flight and drones - already as a "test center for remote pilots". Maintenance companies for aircraft in the ECHO and GOLF classes as well as ultralights are on site. Licensed aircraft inspectors are on site. The Hatten-UAS German Flight Center is therefore the perfect place to go.

As an incubator for UAS aviation, Hatten-UAS supports companies, authorities, universities and scientific institutions for projects and product developments for unmanned aircraft systems. It can be used as a UAS base for sea rescue and public service forces and for supply purposes. The testing and operation of BVLOS UAS in particular is a challenge that is hampering the civilian drone market in Germany. There are too few suitable routes and landing sites.

As a suitable location, Hatten-UAS represents the digital and mobility transformation of aviation, also in the sense of a preliminary stage to a "U-Space real laboratory North-West Germany & German Bight", through its upgrading.

In close cooperation with the U-Space Service Provider (USSP) b.r.m. IT & Aerospace, the services and processes for a successful project are available here. If you have any questions about Hatten-UAS and U-Space, please contact our IT + UAS consultant Markus Rossol.

In the context of drone testing, Hatten-UAS has already been able to support many customers in the testing of drones. Our satisfied customers include, among others:

Airbus DS Airborne Solutions GmbH, Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger, OptoPrecision GmbH, Flugschule Borkum GmbH, Flugschule seabirds.de and Hanseatic Aviation Solutions GmbH

Hatten-UAS can provide its customers with comprehensive support and prepare them for UAS operations. In addition to remote pilots and pilot training, decades of experience in the common SORA evaluations and ConOps creations are available. Infrastructure for maintenance and servicing is available. Accredited noise measurements for noise pollution from drones are under construction. A digital connection to data centers is available. The test center also helps with the administration, documentation and authorization of flights. Our Senior Aerotechnical Consultant Maximilian Strauß is available to answer any questions you may have about approvals and certifications.

For the region and metropolitan area, Hatten-UAS offers space, infrastructure and extensive support for start-ups in the aviation industry. In particular, the embedded networking with stakeholders in the UAS sector offers start-up advantages and lowers the barriers to entry.

The unique selling point of Hatten-UAS is the BVLOS route for testing and operating drones in the "Open" and "Specific" categories. This route has been designed and approved for operation from the Oldenburg-Hatten EDWH airfield over the Jade Bay to the North Sea. In order to achieve pan-European connections at an early stage, route extensions to neighboring European countries are in preparation.

The avoidance rules applicable to general aviation must also be observed by drones when participating in general air traffic outside the visual range of the remote pilot. This requires "seeing" other air traffic participants. Especially at low altitudes and for small flying objects that are difficult to detect by radar, there are capability gaps in the air traffic control systems established to date.

To close these capability gaps, von Hatten-UAS, the test center at the Oldenburg-Hatten EDWH airfield, is using a new type of system to cover the lowest airspace: By triangulating transponder signals, FLARM, ADS-B and ADS-L, as well as other current and future technologies, manned and unmanned aviation participants are detected. Comprehensive expansion of capacities to detect all air traffic participants, especially in the lowest parts of the airspace. "See & Avoid" and "iConspicuity" are thus covered in accordance with EASA requirements, which contributes to the safety of manned and unmanned aviation.

Flugschule Borkum GmbH, based at the airport, offers a comprehensive service for training pilots and remote pilots. For comprehensive information on the flight school's services, please contact our managing director and pilot Mr. Harald Rossol
