4DSKY selected for the future air mobility accelerator with the connected places catapult

What is the project

Part of the Connected Places Catapult (CPC) accelerator, this project focused on the unique challenges of the Orkney Islands—a region with high general aviation usage and a critical need for inter-island transport. Neuron deployed MLAT sensors around Kirkwall to validate the detection of Electronic Conspicuity (EC) devices in a mixed-traffic environment.

Partners

Connected Places Catapult, Windracers.

Outcome

Successful acceptance into the FAM accelerator. Produced documented deliverables for shared airspace testing and validated the sensor network performance in high-latitude, high-wind conditions.1

Regional Airports: Improves safety in non-radar environments.Windracers: Validates the route safety for large fixed-wing cargo drones.
