Group 2

What are the open issues?

Science:

• safety and robustness
  • • radio interference
    • sensing environment
    • "coming home" feature

Business case:

• use MUAVs in combination with other things.
  • easy to use communication support
  • increase efficiency / reducing time for more complex tasks
• * platform/ architecture to make the use UAVs in a bigger system possible.
• Base technologies
  • control system
  • localization

How do we improve / develop savety, software and standards for UAVs?

• ideas from industry (open door activities)
• AUVSI for standards (industry groups and a lot of other people)
  • Actually use the standards and best practices while developing to increase system reliability
• opensky project - to improve standards (primarily EU, targeted on Airspace/Airtraffic management)

Where do we publish

• big journal IEEE, AIAA (The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics)

conferences:

• regarding the topics material sciences space, communcation,
• flagship conferences within IEEE,AIAA
• Globecom
• Milcom
• simulationconferenceUK,
• CVPR computer vision pattern recognivition
• IMAV competition

• conference with high TRL-level
  • GLOBECOM TRL 1-9
  • smaler workshops

• conferences interesting for Aerospace companies (the ones they publish in).
• contact companies directly with interesting ideas
  • Emails with real demo in form of a video or papers

• Youtube videos can create awareness with some companies

What are the best suitable funding scheme?

• direct cooperation with industry (50% industry 50% academia)
• public funding schemes (EU,national or other)
  • Technology strategy board UK
  • EU FP7
  • Horizon 2020
• get local partners as end users
  • local firebrigade companies ( open door activities)

• • DFG,FFG,Bavarian Regional Funding scheme, BMBF
  • EU regional development
  • KWF

• direct cooperation with industry for hardware
  • control system
  • localization

• direct industry cooperation with business cases for UAVs on hand (ideas from open door activities)
  • help specific companies by supporting communication
  • architecture support for control and communication
  • security for incidences.
