EUSPA, in cooperation with ESSP, releases high-level material to support the use of Global Digital Elevation Model DEM GLO-30 produced by the Copernicus Programme, as a terrain/surface input, to be used for Flight Procedure Design purposes.
Copernicus supports drone operations, particularly ground risk assessments, with free, regularly updated population density data across Europe. This was recently demonstrated in an EUSPA project with drone operators and Civil Aviation Authorities.
European GNSS and Copernicus Earth Observation data not only play a key role in individual modes of mobility, they are also essential to creating a truly intermodal transport system.
Integrating the Copernicus Global Human Settlement Layer dataset into its ground risk computation tool means better risk assessment and mitigation these risks in U-space airspace design.
EUSPA signed with Thales Alenia Space a contract named LIFEX 1 (Life Extension Phase 1), to ensure that EGNOS V2 continues to provide reliable, secure, and high-performance navigation services for Europe’s aviation, maritime, land transport, mapping and agricultural sectors beyond 2028.
The 8th CASSINI Hackathon: EU Space for Defence & Security took place earlier in 10 European countries. This edition’s winning teams from Slovenia, the Netherlands, Ukraine, and Spain demonstrated creativity, technical expertise, and a shared vision for a more secure space environment.
