Enabling Autonomous Aerial Systems through Operational Methods and Technological Enhancements

EUSOME aims to revolutionize the air mobility ecosystem in the Southeast Mediterranean region by addressing specific regional challenges, such as transporting goods and people, surveilling complex landscapes, tackling fire risks, and monitoring traffic congestion. The project will address these challenges by developing (i) an open research and innovation infrastructure, (ii) mentoring and training programs, (iii) a masterplan to adopt EU’s Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), and (iv) services to assist entities in exploiting AAM.

 

A key novelty of the project is the establishment of the EUSOME Thematic Innovation Hub (TIH) which will explore open-access policies and market possibilities for project outputs. The EUSOME TIH will also develop a portfolio of consultancy services derived from soft skills cultivated in the project, offering valuable insights to entities entering the AAM market. Lastly, the EUSOME Hub will initiate an outreach program to promote public engagement and ensure widespread acceptance of the AAM technology.
