IDE had the pleasure to participate in the IEEE International Workshop on Computer-Aided Modeling and Design of Communication Links and Networks (CAMAD) Conference, held in Athens between 21-23/10.
Οn behalf of IDE, Mr. Ilias Christofilos, Master Systems Engineer, had the opportunity to present a work related to the ACROSS-AIR project. The paper titled “Towards Enabling 5G-NTN Satellite Communications for Manned and Unmanned Rotary Wing Aircraft” was presented in the “Empowering 6G Networks: First Workshop on Advancements in Research Infrastructures, Adaptive Frameworks and Global Architectural Evolution (Athena 2024)” on 23/10, and has already been noticed by experts in the area of 5G/6G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) standardization, with respect to its insights on the communication challenges for the Rotary Wing Aircraft.
The ACROSS-AIR project (ARTES FPE project, funded by the European Space Agency-ESA) explored the requirements and potential solutions for establishing effective broadband satellite communication services to Rotary Wing Aircraft, including helicopters, commercial UAVs and UAMs platforms. IDE was the Prime Contractor of the project (with subcontractors OHB HELLAS and Alpha Unmanned Systems).
