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:

SESAR was established to ensure that this synergy in air traffic can function properly. What is SESAR? The Single European Sky ATM Research Program, or SESAR for short, is a pan-European initiative. It was launched by the European Commission and the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL). It has similar tasks to the...

To prevent pilots from deciding for themselves how low to fly, there are standard minimum flight altitudes in Europe. These MSA are measured in AGL. AGL In aviation, the abbreviation AGL stands for above ground level. This refers to the height above the ground, i.e., the distance from the ground to the aircraft. In addition to AGL, there is also MSL. It indicates how high the aircraft is above...

The 7th North German Aviation Forum kicked off in Bremen on October 6, 2022 with over 120 managers and specialists from the aerospace industry. This important aviation event this year was organized by the Senator for Economics, Labour and Europe in cooperation with the host AVIASPACE BREMEN e.V., among others. The event included discussions about the...
To make flights more organized and safer, various flight zones have been established. These include a TRA and a TMZ, which pilots must observe. TRA – Temporary Restricted Area A temporary restricted area (TRA) is an airspace that is temporarily restricted. In this airspace, air traffic is temporarily or permanently...
Harald Rossol, the founder and managing director of b.r.m. IT & Aerospace, is developing methods and approaches for the use of drones in air traffic. Under the term "U-Space", possibilities and opportunities for the use of drones are to be developed and implemented. The Oldenburg-Hatten airfield (EDWH) served as a representative location for a get-together with the AVIASPACE...
To make the risk assessment of a drone operation safer, SORA, a process for safety measures, was developed. What is SORA? The Specific Operations Risk Assessment, or SORA for short, serves as a risk analysis for drone operations. Depending on the type of drone and flight zone, the risk of the operation is determined through a process. After a complete review, SORA...
As part of the AVIASPACE BREMEN e.V. roadshow, Bremen-based IT service provider b.r.m. was able to demonstrate concepts that enable the integration of UAVs and UASs into conventional air traffic, known as U-Space. Together with the development and system service provider OptoPrecision GmbH, other innovative projects are being added to the VTOL-EGM project....
