AAA4ATM - Analysis of Available Airspace for ATM
The goal of the project is the development of an analysis/forecast system for the prediction of available airspace within the next 6 hours based on the current distribution of convective weather phenomena that are obstructive to air traffic. To solve this issue, computer vision algorithms for object detection, feature extraction, tracking and extrapolation, as well as down/upsampling strategies in meteorological image processing and forecaster intervention are used.
AIRlabs Austria - Aeronautical Innovation & Research Laboratories Austria
The BMK innovation lab AIRlabs Austria plans to establish and operate a multisite test infrastructure to support research, development, validation and integration UAS. With a total of 25 consortium partners from the fields of users, industrial companies and research institutions, the necessary test enablers for UAS will be provided along all TRLs and along the innovation path. Even though the focus of the innovation lab is on airspaces, ground-based infrastructures are also part of AIRlabs Austria's offering. The advantages of Austria's location (e.g. (high) alpine areas) as well as the interests of domestic industry and scientific partners are taken into account.

this research project will examine consequent research topics with a focus on increasing the LWC (Liquid Water Content) for Appendix C as well as the distribution and reduction of the LWC for Supercooled Large Drops (SLD). It is building on research projects Aviation Icing Tests, Aviation Icing Tests II and Aviation Icing Tests III that have already been carried out.
BISANCE - BIphasic System integrated in the Airframe of a NaCElle
The project intends to test in icing wind tunnel (IWT) one demonstrator of engine air intake integrated in a nacelle and equipped with an innovative biphasic heat transport system for regenerating the energy from the oil of the engine. The objective, by testing the technology in a representative environment, is to reach TRL5. At the end of the project the technology will be able to be further developed towards TRL6 to 9 with the final aim to be transferred to the aeronautic value chain.
DARVIS - Data Fusion of K/X Band Radar with Visual Sensors for Airborne Platforms
Various sensor technologies in aviation have so far insufficiently combined the respective complementary properties. The optimal fusion as well as the respective characteristics of the sensors are to be optimally used in the future. The different methods for calibration and synchronization will be investigated and optimized. The results will then be incorporated into a sensor technology model for collision avoidance in aviation.
DEMONA - Demonstration of UAS Integration for VLL Airspace Operations
Within the DEMONA framework, the integration of an unmanned aerial vehicle into civil airspace and therein used flight guidance, which is based on the Galileo satellite navigation system, will be carried out for the first time in Austria. For this purpose, subsystems for navigation receiver, navigation data fusion, airspace demarcation, data link and collision prevention are to be integrated into a small UAS, and flight testing based on instrument procedures is to be carried out.
DIBMETSAT - Digital Image Processing Supported Meteorology Services for Air Traffic Management
Air traffic controllers face the challenge of dealing with a flood of information. An essential source of information here are images and measurements of current weather conditions. Providing automated, higher-level messages from weather radar and satellite images, combining them and generating new measurements for an improved visibility estimation should provide substantial support.
DIBMETSAT-3D - 3D Based Digital Image Processing for Met-Services for Air Traffic Management
Digital image processing analyses, supplements and extracts information from meteorology and subsequently supports its task with regard to Air Traffic Management (ATM). It is based on the findings of the 2D image analysis in meteorology as these are extended to 3D image processing algorithms. Additionally, this requires that not only the 2D-maximum projected weather radar image series are used as the starting point, but also that the volumetric data in combination with digital terrain models are used as a data source.
DJET - D-JET Concept
The goal of the D-Jet project is to construct a small jet for an emerging market segment with a significantly lower price-performance ratio than earlier business jets, better performance with regard to the cruising speed and the rate of climb, short runway requirements for takeoff and landing, as well as a total registered weight under 2,000 kilograms.
Evolution#4 - Development of a fully automated airplane manufacturing technology and implementation of IoT
In Evolution#4 an approach for the 4th industrial revolution will be addressed by bringing the production of aeronautical structures to a fully automated RTM process. In an holistic approach with leading specialists from Airbus the Austrian consortium will develop intelligent, sensor-based and quality driven production technology and prepare for coming project on the example of the A320 vertical tail plane.
FSA - Future Small Aircraft
The aim of this funded project is to launch a modern and highly efficient "Future Small Aircraft" in the general aviation category, which will reduce operating costs to a minimum and thus meet the growing demand. The end result of this project is a certifiable prototype, which will be developed in a timeframe of around 32 months.
FUSEMET - Multi-Sensor Fusion for Aviation Meteorology Services
The project aim - "big picture of airport weather” - is based on the integration of all sensor data available at an airport with the results of image processing modules in the collateral projects DIBMETSAT and DIBMETSAT-3D. With the help of defined use-cases, both the development and implementation of multi-sensor fusion concepts and the analysis of available data time series are implemented. Both cases achieve added value through the combination and integration of multiple types of information compared to single site measurements.
