Hatten UAS & "Unmanned Systems VIII"
The Oldenburg-Hatten airfield (EDWH) in northern Germany is to be expanded into a test center called Hatten-UAS for unmanned civil aircraft systems "drones". The approved flight area extends northwards into the Jade Bay and the North Sea.
Hatten-UAS is planning a new type of system for safe drone flight operations, which is installed on wind turbines. The system receives the transponder signals of all air traffic participants and displays their position and flight direction with high precision for all (remote) pilots. This allows pilots to avoid conflicts.
Germany and Lower Saxony have the opportunity to strongly support the German aviation industry in this still niche market. Hatten-UAS provides the basis for this. The airfield infrastructure also offers space for the establishment of relevant start-ups with highly qualified jobs.
The most important facts:
- UAS with up to 150 kg MTOM
- maximum flight altitude of 500 ft / 150m above ground
- within the pilot's extended line of sight (VLOS / eVLOS) by day and night and
- outside the pilot's line of sight (BVLOS) during the day
In keeping with this, the "Unmanned Systems VIII" conference series, which has been running since 2005, will take place on October 26 and 27. The two-day conference at the Maritim Hotel Bonn will feature an exhibition on the topic of "Air, space, land, sea - teaming - future concepts - counter UxS & protection".
Unmanned and increasingly autonomous systems are an integral part of our future. Their strengths lie in autonomous operations, in human-machine teaming and as a component in a system-of-systems approach.
They open up new options for action, but also force us to confront the corresponding opposing capabilities.
This is why the VIIIth Forum will focus on technical development. Forum will therefore focus on technical development and once again address a wide range of possible applications and technologies.
