ATOMICUS will deliver a significant pragmatic step towards safe operation of unmanned aircraft logistics by enabling integration with regional airfield operations. The approach of data based integration with existing physical infrastructure, will enable unlocking of significant cost savings and productivity gains in the logistics market. This project aims to create and demonstrate the digital infrastructure and operational procedures that will allow long-range unmanned cargo systems to safely and efficiently share the airspace and ground infrastructure with manned aircraft. The project will develop and demonstrate a concept of operations (CONOPS) and safety case, enabling scalable Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) operation and airport ground operations integration. The project will build upon the DfT Open Access UTM Framework being developed by Connected Places Catapult, creating new data infrastructure, products, APIs, and data flows to implement necessary interfaces. Through this approach, ATOMICUS will demonstrate the ability to provide logistics between airports and airfields, demonstrating the capacity to, as part of a planned, sequenced flight, with an allocated slot, safely operate a drone through controlled airspace to land at a manned airport and arrive at a 'gate'. Following arrival, the vehicle is inspected for damage, wear and tear. By demonstrating how UTM can enable scaling of the benefits of UAS, the project will provide the foundation for demonstrating during Phase 3, a middle mile solution for integrating drones as quickly as possible into the existing Air Traffic System and infrastructure with minimal disruption to today's manned aircraft air and ground operations.

SMARTER is a Four-Dimensional Digital Twin of the Combined ATM / UTM Airspace. Using novel machine learning / deep reinforcement learning techniques, SMARTER will address challenges arising from problem statement 2 of the Future Flight Challenge. SMARTER will: * Based on Massive Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) technology, provide an innovative, collaborative, cloud-based Simulation-as-a-Service environment where several thousand aircraft (both traditional civil aircraft, military aircraft and UAVs) will be simulated based on both real-world data and simulated data. * Learn, infer and deduce the new rules needed to accommodate the safe _and_ efficient (both environmentally and commercially) management of the combined ATM and UTM traffic (both for non-segregated, lower airspace and en route traffic). These rules can then be used in support of the safety case for CAP670, CAP722, ED-109A, DO-178C compliance for both UAV operators and Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and facilitate global capacity management modelling and collaborative decision making. * Allow users (e.g. ANSPs) to test "what-if" scenarios including modelling sensor failures / low coverage regions, weather, population density, loss of control of the UAV, loss of communications, special use areas / danger areas. SMARTER will learn how each aircraft, the airspace and indeed the system of systems is required to react in order to both meet safety and performance KPIs. * Develop novel mathematical techniques to characterise the uncertainty associated with ascertain the single source of truth for the presented state of the airspace given the multiplicity of data inputs from sensors, measurements, radar (both primary and secondary surveillance), ADS-B (over satellite comms), etc all of which are at varying levels of data quality. * Develop next-generation, turn-key 4D visualization and user experience techniques with haptic controls to gamify the manipulation of the airspace - streaming from centralized, cloud-based servers to either standard PC, mobile device or 4D visualization devices (e.g. Occulus Rift, etc.). This facilitates rapid scenario testing. Users will be able to get an account, log-in and use the environment without purchasing any specialized equipment. * Since the environment is cloud-based, it will provide an on-demand collaborative decision making environment where multiple stakeholders can work together to form a consensus on capacity & separation management standards whilst respecting the commercial constraints of both small SMEs (e.g. UAV operators), ANSPs and large multinational OEMs. SMARTER will use emerging ATM data standards (such as WIXM / FIXM / AIXM) for seamless integration into ANSP operations. Furthermore, as well as being used to facilitate the development of the safe, efficient separation management rules, the simulation environment provided by SMARTER can be used to train UAV operators, air traffic controllers and even pilots.

The project aims to develop an innovative control system for a field crop sprayer that is able to deliver accurate doses across a field with modern, large-scale equipment operating at high work rates. The work will involve quantifying the limitations in current technology, designing, developing and implementing a new control system that involves integrating state-of-the-art hardware with innovative software strategies, testing the system performance and validating the benefits, and integrating with farm management software. The project is led by a UK sprayer manufacturer who aims to increase their ability to compete in a world market, has a research partner with expertise in pesticide application, sprayer control and precision agriculture who can provide independent testing and validation and dissemination of results, and a manufacturer of farm management software to ensure integration of the system to maximise uptake. A successful project will ensure major improvements in the accuracy of pesticide delivery, increasing the efficiency of the operation, maximising the performance of plant protection products and reducing environmental impacts.
