Imagine a digital black box for drones that doesn't just record where they flew, but proves it with a legal stamp of authenticity. It uses a special satellite signal that can't be faked, making sure the flight path is honest. This data is then locked in a digital vault so it can't be changed later, similar to how a truck's tachograph works for road laws.
Current drone and light aircraft positioning data lacks the legal trust and authenticity needed for official reports. This makes it impossible to use flight logs as evidence for insurance, law enforcement, or automated contract payments.
A software platform and an EGNSS/IoT hardware device. It generates certified flight reports by combining Galileo OSNMA signals with Blockchain storage.
If you are a delivery company dealing with payment disputes over delivery routes — this project developed a system that uses smart contracts to trigger payments only when a certified flight path is proven. This ensures the drone actually visited the required coordinates.
If you are a regulator dealing with illegal airspace infringements — this project developed a legal recording service that provides unalterable flight logs. This allows for the issuance of sanctions based on evidence that cannot be spoofed.
If you are an insurer dealing with accident investigations for ultralight aircraft — this project developed a certified flight report system. It provides a trustable chain of flight data to determine the exact cause of an incident for legal claims.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not mentioned; it is described as a digital service for UAS operators and GA pilots.
The project is designed for U-space, which manages the rising number of drones and aircraft in low-level airspace, suggesting it is built for wide-scale operational use.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing terms are not specified, though the project involves 11 partners including 9 SMEs.
The system is designed to comply with EU regulatory package 2021/664 U-space and uses concepts from Commission implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/799 regarding tachographs.
The system uses a digital EGNSS/IoT device installed on the aircraft that transmits encrypted data in real-time to a private Blockchain node.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 9 out of 11 partners being SMEs (82% industry ratio). This indicates a strong focus on commercial viability and rapid market entry rather than pure academic research, with partners spread across 6 European countries.
