Using Galileo to solve the puzzle in the sky

As EUSPA’s Head of Market in the Downstream and Innovation Department, Fiammetta Diani explains, new pieces are constantly added to the puzzle in the sky. It is no longer only the movement of aircraft that must be managed, but also drones and other unmanned and autonomous aircraft (EUSPA. 2024).

Skypuzzler’s integrated Digital Air Traffic Control (iDATC) is developed by air traffic controllers with flight safety embedded in their DNA and experienced computer scientists rooted in deep tech.

With the rise of drones, particularly the expected increase in their use for various services, there is a critical need for a management system similar to that seen in traditional air traffic control.

Applying principles from traditional aviation to drone conflict management is crucial for scalability and maintaining a high flight safety standard to prevent the risk of collisions.

The application of GNSS combinations such as Galileo and Galileo HAS makes it possible for drones to deconflict at much more precise levels by utilising our software-to-software approach which integrates with the drone’s Satellite navigation capabilities.
