In this section you can find a list of the most relevant Research and Development projects in which CATUAV has participated since 2000:
AEROVR
The future of drone piloting has arrived. Currently, basic Ground Control Stations (GCS) and the most used setup to operate an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are composed by a computer that uses a Drone Control Software and a communication antenna. A recurring problem with these radio control stations is that they need to be located in a specific place close to the drone system in order to have a direct radio link. The controller location ...
U-space – 2021 to present
U-space Year: 2021 to present. Project type: Project lead by CATUAV. Participants: CATUAV. CATUAV has taken a new initiative to open the way for future projects to the ecosystem of the future: U-Space. When a UAS is undergoing testing, it is necessary that it complies with all regulations, including the real-time broadcast of critical data for its identification such as its ID code or its position, thus making the airspace safer and more efficient for ...
NALARGA – 2022 to 2023
NALARGA Year: 2022 to 2023. Project type: Spanish Project co-funded by MINCOTUR, program AEI. Participants: 3 Enterprises, 2 Clusters. NALARGA or long-range navigation, responds to the problem of excessive or total dependence of UAS navigation on conventional satellite positioning systems (GNSS) whose signals can be interfered and/or falsified while focusing on the hub-hub-user operation concept. The concept of using UAS for parcel transport is becoming more and more solid, with the delivery of goods over ...
INAPDRON – 2022 to 2023
INAPDRON Year: 2022 to 2023. Project type: Spanish Project co-funded by MINCOTUR, program AEI. Participants: 5 Enterprises, 2 Clusters. Currently, a significant portion of potable water is lost due to leaks in the supply network, estimated at 30%. The INAPDRON project aims to tackle this issue by developing new technologies specifically designed for the exploration and inspection of water pipes to detect these leaks. CATUAV has been entrusted with the responsibility of designing and developing several ...
PRIORITY DRONE – 2021 to 2022
PRIORITY DRONE Year: 2021 to 2022. Project type: Spanish Project co-funded by MINCOTUR, program AEI. Participants: 3 Enterprises, 2 Clusters. PriorityDrone aims to allow the delivery and distribution of any type of merchandise of moderate dimensions, regardless of the place and the conditions of the operation. In this way, it will be possible to establish high capillarity distribution networks and the coverage of the rural area will be expanded through its connection with the manufacturing centers ...
