Unmanned Aircraft Systems Competence Center

Credit: DLR

The research facility in Cochstedt is dedicated to the topics of electric flight with a focus on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).

With respect to the planned structural change and a local contribution to the model of the Central German lignite mining area, the UAS Competence Center in Cochstedt, together with the National Experimental Test Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (DLR-UX), is to form the nucleus for an even broader establishment of promising research activities in the field of UAS.

Main areas of research:

• Development and investigation of simulation and flight test scenarios in the field of UAS
• Development of an evaluation capability of safety-critical scenarios
• Scaled technology demonstrators for in-flight technology validation
• UAS Research Plateau (Clustering of the DLR inter-institutional UAS research in Cochstedt as an integral part of the UAS Competence Center)
