SESAR JU project makes headway against drone incursions

Earlier this month SESAR JU announced that partners participating in the SESAR JU ASPRID project have successfully tested a system to protect airports from drone incursions.  The testing, which was organised at the facilities of Spain’s National Institute of Aerospace Technology, involved both ENAIRE air traffic controllers and experts from Aena’s Safety and Operations divisions.

The two-year ASPRID project involves seven European entities from Spain, Italy and France, with experts from a wide range of domains including airports, research, innovation technologies, drone operations, IT, safety and security.
