Autonomous drone operations in dense traffic in City-ATM Phase 3 (2022)
In the third and finale phase of the City-ATM project, traffic scenarios were tested in which a large number of differently equipped drones are operated together and without conflict in one airspace. The tests were carried out with real and virtual drones at Cochstedt Airport.
More
Drone operations and hazards in City-ATM Phase 2 (2020)
In phase 2 of the City-ATM project, complex flight tests with several drones were carried out at the National Experimental Test Center in Cochstedt in autumn 2020. This demonstrated in an exemplary manner how several drones can be safely handled in the event of sudden hazards and emergencies in an urban environment.

A-PiMod Video (2016)
A novel approach to adaptive automation is needed and it must be applicable for real-time operations. Automation should be seen as a partner in the global endeavour of flying the aircraft with the human crew; they should adapt to each other and to the context, aiming at maintaining safety at all times as a team. Project A-PiMod seeks to achieve that.
