    Niall Greenwood, Neuron Innovations at ICDD 2021: How a ground based sensor network enables the integration of drones and manned flight. Neuron is founded by aviators with an understanding that the future flight sector will need to be enabled by fully integrating digitally native drones, urban and regional air mobility alongside existing crewed aircraft in a single sky. By deploying a low cost ground based sensor network we can ingest all aircraft telemetry data and create a single source of truth about the whereabouts of all aircraft, and thereby allow traffic managers to keep them safely separated. We combine this technology with a strong governance model that means no single or group of parties can lock others out of the market; all operators, manufacturers and traffic managers can compete on a level playing field, enabling the market to meet it's full potential through safer, cheaper and faster digitally enabled and democratised aviation. Drone deliveries and inspections, air taxis and regional electric aircraft will undoubtably change the way we live our lives, and enormous amounts of money continue to be poured into their development. However, the sector faces a significant challenge – drone vision systems are not good enough to detect aircraft so the risk of collisions requires pilots to maintain visual contact. Key insights are that: #1 Onboard sensors won’t achieve the required levels of coverage #2 A ground-based sensor network can safely integrate aircraft telemetry data, which can be fuzed with drone positional data – creating a Trusted Airspace Picture #3 This Trusted Airspace Picture allows the integration of drones and manned aircraft; safe separation procedures can be applied; and traffic managers can operate with a full airspace picture The presentation will describe this solution and how it will operate Join the Global Alliance on Drones in Development to learn, lead, and collaborate with leading drone projects from around the world:   https://dronesindevelopment.com​ Follow us: Caerobotics: www.caerobotics.org Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caerobotics/ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/13176734 Twitter: https://twitter.com/CaeroboticsInt Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/caerobotics Want to partner with us for projects, workshops and events?
