Terra Drone’s Group Firm Unifly Conducts Demonstration for Built-in Administration for Vertiports for Superior Air Mobility (AAM) – sUAS Information

Terra Drone Company, a number one drone and City Air Mobility (UAM) expertise firm headquartered in Japan, is happy to announce that its group firm and a world chief in UAS Site visitors Administration (UTM) options, Unifly has efficiently led a technical validation and demonstration of built-in vertiport administration below the European joint mission “EUREKA (hereinafter known as “the mission”),” which goals to understand the societal implementation of next-generation air mobility.

Concerning the EUREKA Challenge (Word 1)

The mission is a world joint initiative geared toward establishing an air site visitors administration and information-sharing framework compliant with the U-space (Word 2) regulation, and at growing operational requirements for vertiports in anticipation of the societal implementation of next-generation air mobility.

The mission is led by the SESAR Joint Endeavor(Word 3), a European collaborative analysis group, and entails participation from 35 corporations and establishments, together with AENA (Spain’s airport operator), ENAIRE (Spain’s air navigation service supplier), and EUROCONTROL (the European air site visitors administration group).

On the core of the mission is the event and validation of a Vertiport Collaborative Site visitors Administration system  (VCTM)  (Word 4). The VCTM system is designed to allow real-time sharing and coordination of operational data, corresponding to scheduled takeoffs and landings or emergency responses, amongst a number of stakeholders concerned in eVTOL operations.

Unifly is taking part within the EUREKA mission as a U-space service supplier (Word 5), making use of its intensive experience in UTM programs to the event and validation of the VCTM system.

Overview of the Demonstration

• Date: July 21–22, 2025
• Location: INDRA facility, Madrid, Spain
• Goal: To guage the validity and scalability of the VCTM system below simulated real-time operational circumstances.

<Key Analysis Gadgets>

1. Seamless Interoperability
   Assess whether or not real-time and correct data sharing and coordination may be achieved by way of the VCTM system amongst related stakeholders, together with vertiport operators, U-space service suppliers, and customary data service suppliers.
2. Security and Effectivity
   Confirm whether or not the VCTM system can preserve protected and applicable site visitors administration each throughout regular operations and in contingency eventualities corresponding to communication failures, emergency responses, or site visitors congestion.
3. Operator Help
   Consider whether or not the VCTM system successfully helps operators in sustaining situational consciousness and making knowledgeable selections.

<Unifly’s Function>
As a U-space service supplier, Unifly performed a task in real-time data integration and coordination between vertiport operators and customary data service suppliers. The corporate evaluated the effectiveness of the VCTM system from a technical perspective.

<Key Outcomes>

• Efficiently demonstrated superior interoperability amongst vertiport operators, U-space service suppliers, and customary data service suppliers.
• Confirmed the system’s stability and talent to take care of operations throughout communication failures, emergency conditions, and below high-traffic conditions.
• Verified the effectiveness of the VCTM system in supporting knowledgeable and well timed decision-making by operators.

Remark from the CEO

Andres Van Swalm, CEO of Unifly said: As Progressive Aerial Mobility turns into a actuality, making certain the protected and environment friendly integration of drones and air taxis into shared airspace is vital. This simulation highlights how collaboration and interoperability between programs are key to constructing a scalable, trusted UTM infrastructure.

Future Outlook

This demonstration marked the fruits of the real-time simulation section throughout the EUREKA mission. The subsequent step might be dwell demonstrations carried out in real-world operational environments. Unifly will proceed to play a task as a core expertise supplier within the air mobility infrastructure area, contributing to the societal implementation of next-generation air mobility.
