For its final dissemination event, Mahalo project will participate and co-organise a free and in person joint event in Rome (Italy) on 3-4 November.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahalo<\/strong><\/a>, INVIRCAT<\/strong><\/a>, <\/a>URClearED<\/strong><\/a>, <\/a>SAFELAND<\/strong><\/a>, <\/a>SafeOPS<\/strong><\/a> and <\/a>Artimation<\/strong><\/a>, six exploratory research projects financed by the SESAR Joint Undertaking<\/strong><\/a> programme,<\/strong> are about to come togetherto present the audience with the latest developments within the SESAR JU framework in two of the most promising aviation topics: Drones<\/strong> and Artificial Intelligence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Why these six projects in one joint event?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to OPTICS <\/strong>and <\/a>OPTICS2<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>projects\u2019 analysis – which investigated European aviation research to assess if it is on the right track towards Flightpath 2050<\/strong> to provide recommendations to steer EU Aviation Safety and Security research – Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) explainability are <\/strong>two of the hottest themes still to be explored in aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, as stated in the OPTICS2 <\/strong>\u201cFinal Safety and Security integrated recommendations\u201d report published in 2021,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFinding the right Human-AI partnerships<\/strong> will be key to future aviation safety. The Intelligent Assistant (IA) in the cockpit and on the ground will be the crucial stepping stone toward fuller Artificial Intelligence (AI) by 2050. Research is urgently needed to determine how humans and AIs can work together productively and safely, including human supervision and recovery in case of \u2018aberrant behaviour\u2019 by AI systems<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the OPTICS Final Report \u201cIs European Aviation Safety research delivering?” highlights that automated drones<\/strong> and UAM vehicles<\/strong> will have to rely on seamless integration of automated flight controls, thus providing another level of challenge for development and operation. In particular, the report notes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe integration of RPAS and drones into civil airspace<\/strong> needs urgent research, […] together with the development of a new CONOPS that accommodates the rapidity and scale of developments occurring with RPAS\/UAS and their impending integration into airspace\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the European exploratory research panorama, the almost completed SESAR 2020<\/strong> programme has planned, financed, and disseminated research progress and results that are really worth highlighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This joint event will present six projects that enriched and contributed to SESAR\u2019s progress, marking great steps forward for the domain, both for drones and AI integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, INVIRCAT<\/strong>, URClearED<\/strong> and Safeland<\/strong> will present their research activities and results focused on the RPAS integration in the civil air space<\/strong> on the event’s opening day, November the 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeOPS<\/strong>, Mahalo<\/strong> and Artimation<\/strong> will instead show their ongoing research within the human – AI teaming in aviation<\/strong> framework, on November the 4th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned before, for Mahalo will be the final dissemination event<\/strong>, a crucial appointment where all the research and its accomplishments will be presented to the audience and the stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t miss this opportunity, especially if you have been following the entire project process for the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who should participate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RPAS and AI in Aviation event is open to everybody to attend. However, we address in particular a specific audience active in the fields of RPAS, AI and automation<\/strong>, and aviation-related activities<\/strong>. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
