U-Space -> Registration and Airspace Management service for drone pilots in Hungary successfully deployed.

R-SYS Ltd., has successfully completed a process of development and deployment of mydronespace^TM system for Hungarian Air Navigation Services HungaroControl. Two key components of the system– HungaroContol’s mobile application for drone pilots and UAS operators, and the web console for supervisory authorities – together constitute a keystone providing a secure registration of drone pilots and reliable airspace management service involving UAS operation in Hungary.

Mydronespace solution represents a good basis for the future U-Space (UTM) system that should fully integrate the unmanned aerial vehicles into ATC environment. Mydronespace was developed for, and delivered to HungaroControl, the Hungarian ANS provider, for its operational use and service provision. With mydronespace, HungaroControl can provide essential support to UAS pilots: mydronespace supports the situational awareness of drone pilots in accordance with the legislation in force.

“Thanks to the excellent cooperation of HungaroControl and R-SYS, mydronespace design has been tailored to the customer’s requirements, SW successfully implemented, and field tested to be finally put into full operation from January 1, 2021, on the day when Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 on the rules and procedures for the operation of unmanned aircraft became effective in EU,” stated Marek Náhlik, CEO of R-SYS.

The R-SYS Ltd, thus becomes one of the few producers within EU having in its portfolio a UTM solution providing drone pilot registration and UAS flight management, and Hungary becomes one of the first EU countries operating such solution and providing UTM services to drone pilots. Before its first execution, mydronespace was subject to extensive cyber security testing as cyber threats protection was one of the key requirements the new system shall comply with. In addition, a synergistic benefit of integrating mydronespace (designed for drone pilots) into the existing NetBriefing system (designed for GA pilots) is a significant improvement of air traffic safety and airspace efficiency while air navigation service provision is facing a rapidly increasing use of UAS both for commercial and non-commercial (hobby) purposes.

IWB (Integrated Web Briefing) – a tool that makes life easier for GA pilots.

Janusz Janiszewski, Acting President of Polish Air Navigation Services Agency has highlighted in his interview for webzin DlaPilota(https://dlapilota.pl) :

“In Poland, in recent years, we have recorded a gigantic increase in GA traffic, which indicates that our country is growing. And one of the systems introduced for GA is IWB (Integrated Web Briefing), which is a tool that makes life easier for GA pilots.

The world is moving forward, we are moving in the electronic world. The smartphone, which almost everyone has in their pocket today, facilitates functioning in many areas of everyday life. Now it will be easier to prepare for the flight and to perform the flight itself. The basic functionality of IWB is the integration of all information necessary for pilots to plan the air operations. It enables the sending of IFR and VFR flight plans and related messages, a preview of active FUA zones in the Warsaw FIR, current NOTAMs and METEO messages.”

IWB (Integrated Web Briefing) for PANSA has been provided by R-SYS, Ltd. .

ERIS – ASMGC-S for medium size airports presented at ICAS

The last meeting of the ICAS group (International Cooperation on Airport
Surveillance) was hosted by ERA company in Prague. The ICAS organization aims at providing a forum for industrial professionals in surveillance technologies from all over the world. It brings together project managers, engineers and air traffic and apron controllers to meet and discuss A-SMGCS issues. ERA (a member of the OMNIPOL group) as a major player in the community of ATM surveillance sent several of its experts including Jakub Thomas, the head of ERA Sales, and Marek Náhlík from ERA’s Slovak subsidiary R-SYS, who lectured on ERIS by ERA – the system for ASMGC-S for medium size airports.
A major part of the second day program involved a professional tour to Prague airport kindly provided by the Czech ANSP. The visitors had the
possibility to visit the Control Tower, test TWR and Technical Room for a close look at the technologies and procedures used by Czech ATM controllers.

IXO RPAS solution presented at Security and RPAS Workshop

On April 12, 2018, R-SYS took part in a workshop Security and RPAS organized by Faculty of Security Engineering at University of Žilina. This workshop allowed the participants to share knowledge on current possibilities of RPAS deployment in the security domain (Fire Brigade and Rescuers, Police of Slovak Republic, and surveillance of critical assets).

In the first part of the workshop, the participants discussed changes of legal environment necessary for practical usage of RPAS. Consequently, they presented current technical possibilities of RPAS and their actual use in practice.

R-SYS introduced the second generation of IXO RPAS software solution that aims at integration of RPAS into ATM environment. We offered solutions for drone authorities (ANSP, CAA, Law Enforcement) including Drone Authority Console as well as a mobile application for RPAS pilots.

As a conclusion, the participants developed recommendations for the legislation, choice of suitable RPAS and implementation of technological possibilities into ATM and ATC systems.

The workshop agenda:

1. Current legal framework vs. actual security requirements in practice:
   • Analysis of legal environment
   • Current issues resulting from the security strategy of Slovak Republic
   • Requirements of Police for usage of RPAS
   • Requirements of Fire Brigade and Rescuers for usage of RPAS
   • Infrastructure security of energy and transport industry
2. Practical requirements vs. technical possibilities of current RPAS:
   • Real use cases based on examples of Hungary and Czech Republic
   • Protection of infrastructure assets
   • RPAS use in Fire Brigade and Rescuers tactics for firefighting and rescue operations
   • RPAS use in Police operations
