Fully Autonomous Flight

Logistics and mobility are the basis for a flourishing economy and society. In light of demographic change, the declining number of skilled workers and the simultaneously high and ever growing demands on passenger and freight transport, shaping the mobility of the future appears to be one of the key challenges of the 21st century.

Unmanned, largely manually controlled aerial vehicles are already an important addition in many areas of application such as the delivery of goods, the maintenance of industrial plants, in surveying technology or even in fire protection and rescue operations. The private as well as the commercial use of drones has been increasing continuously for years. Unmanned aircraft systems will profoundly change future transport. However, the safe operation of autonomous systems still remains challenging - especially under changing environmental influences and other disruptive factors.
