The U-Space Reallabor North-West Germany and German Bight. The challenges and solutions for the use of drones in industrial, academic and civil areas require an orderly and coordinated use of the corresponding airspace. To make this possible, a new geozone is being created within existing airspace on the basis of the EU 2021/664 implementing regulation and embedded in the existing airspace structure: The so-called "U-Space" as a flight area for unmanned aerial systems. This also includes the provision of the corresponding services for use.
The EU DVO 2021/664ff has entered into force and is currently in the legislative process. The BMDV has already published a concept for the establishment of U-Spaces in Germany (DEZ 2022). To drive forward the development of real U-Spaces.
There are various approaches for the delimitation of U-space: A first approach pursues the strict delimitation of U-space within the airspace with regard to its maximum height and geographical extent. This makes sense as an initial utilization approach, but will not meet the expected drone flight requirements in the long term. Alternatively, there is an integrated approach for which this strict spatial demarcation is not a mandatory requirement. Only this integrated approach offers a complete scope of development for potential drone flight traffic.
The aim of a transnational project "U-Space North-West Germany and German Bight" 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. If you have any questions about the project, please contact our U-Space Provider Mr. Markus Rossol.
We are working on various projects related to the future of unmanned aviation. Discover our current projects in the “U-Space” section.
A successive expansion of the flight areas will enable the "U-Space Reallabor Nord-Westdeutschland und Deutsche Bucht" to facilitate the integrative air traffic of manned and unmanned aviation. Starting from the drone testing center Hatten-UAS, located at the Oldenburg-Hatten EDWH airfield, a first route has been developed over the Jade Bay to the North Sea. Our Senior Aerotechnical Consultant Maximillian Strauß is at your disposal for comprehensive information on approvals and operating licenses for your UAS (VLOS / BVLOS)
The U-Space Reallabor North-West Germany and German Bight will be expanded in several stages to become fully operational. The expansion will be based on the specific needs of the individual participants and stakeholders. Here is an initial overview of the development of this transnational project:
2023: Compilation and integration of all relevant airspace participants
2023-2024: BVLOS areas Hatten - German Bight incl. trial operation (red)
2024-2025: BVLOS areas Cuxhaven & Helgoland incl. connection to phase 1 incl. trial operation (blue and green)
2025-2027: Expansion and connection of further airfields such as East Frisian Islands, Leck and Nordholz incl. trial operation (yellow) "From separation to integration" Development of fully functional "real" U-Spaces in the German Bight and northern Germany
Vision 2030 Further development in the respective built-up U-Space(s) towards a seamless connection to the "U4" of the SESAR ATM master plan from 2035 onwards
The U-Space Reallabor North-West Germany and German Bight project is receiving multi-layered support from these stakeholders, among others:

Highlights from the workshop, Image source: Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Nordfriesland mbH The workshop was held at the Hamburg Ministry of Economics and Innovation. Experts from various industries gathered that day to discuss the integration of drones into their respective fields. These areas of research include, for example, the...
On 09.02.2023, EASA published its new Easy Access Rules for Air Traffic Management (ATM) and Air Navigation Services (ANS). This published document now contains all applicable rules for ATM/ANS. The SORA 2.5 workshop took place at the same time. You can find the blog post here. This blog post covers the new changes that were not included in the old version.
Since December 31, 2020, every operator of a UAS weighing more than 250g is obliged to register. This also includes UAS under 250g that are equipped with cameras or other sensors to capture personal data. Several identifiers (ID) are listed in the EU drone regulations. The most important of these include the e-ID, the remote pilot ID and the...
As a UAS operator (Unmanned Aircraft Systems operator) in Germany, you are required to have special insurance for your own drone. It is important to note that conventional private liability insurance does not usually cover any damage to the drone. First of all, the question arises as to whether the drone to be insured is used privately or...
Bremen-based IT service provider develops solutions for integrating UAS into the existing airspace structure U-Space Real-World Laboratory for Northwest Germany and the German Bight – Bremen UAS Control Center (USSP) Bremen, April 14, 2023: b.r.m. IT & Aerospace will present ideas for the project platform “U-Space Real-World Laboratory Northwest Germany and...” at AERO 2023 in Friedrichshafen from April 19 to 22.
At AERO 2023 in Friedrichshafen, aerospace experts will of course also be giving presentations. What is new here is that a separate one-day specialist event will be held just for the topic of drones. The presentations will focus on various aspects of drones and will be held during AERODrones, i.e. from 19.04. - 21.04.2023. Several entrepreneurs and...
As already announced, AERO Friedrichshafen 2023 will take place from 19.04. - 22.04.2023. Thereby b.r.m. IT & Aerospace will represent the state of Bremen as an aerospace center. The associated stand "Landesstand Bremen City of Aerospace" is located in hall A2 with stand number 216. In this hall, the AERODrones, a three-day trade fair for drones, aerospace and...
Drones are being used more and more frequently in German agriculture and forestry and are used in a variety of ways. Among other things, they are used for the application of pesticides. Drones and aircraft make it possible to control pests without destroying plants, as is the case with tractor wheels, for example. However, the dropping of objects from manned and unmanned...
