Unmanned Flying

AI as a key technology in shared airspace

AI algorithms play a key role in the safe operation of unmanned aerial systems, the coordination of swarms and interaction with humans, particularly when it comes to integration into the airspace shared with manned aircraft.

They are used for sensor signal processing for the perception of airspace and obstacles, but also for the autonomous planning of trajectories and decision-making for safe and efficient flight guidance.

Thanks to the increased computing power, these AI algorithms can be executed directly on board the flight systems in order to react to data during the flight. In addition, AI algorithms enable faster and more robust development of increasingly complex flight systems. The focus here is on the reduction of design iterations through "generative designs" and the important verification of the performance of AI algorithms, which is essential in Aeronautical Engineering.
