Technical interchange meeting (TIM) on unmanned aerial systems and urban air mobility

Drone flying in the sky

EUROCONTROL, the SESAR Joint Undertaking and the United States' Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) jointly organised a technical interchange meetings (TIM) on the topic of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and urban air mobility (UAM).

The goal of the meeting was to exchange know-how and research results and encourage collaboration and harmonisation of aviation research in the area of UAS and UAM.

Proceedings and presentations

Each of the four days was dedicated to one of four topic. The sessions included a series of short presentations from US and European speakers, as well as a Q&A session. Virtual break-out rooms allowed participants to brainstorm on topics for US-European research collaboration. The presentations from each day are available for download below.

Background

As part of the US-Europe Collaboration Plan, we work closely with the FAA to organise TIMs on topics of interest and relevance for the aviation research community on both sides of the Atlantic. The first of these TIMs took place at the EEC in Brétigny in September 2018; it was dedicated to ‘Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence’. A subsequent TIM on ‘Modelling and Simulation’ took place at the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City in October 2019.

These events are organised as part of EUROCONTROL's research coordination and cooperation activity.
