SAMVA aims to increase the adoption of EGNOS technology within the provision of rotorcraft services, paving the way towards seamless integration of VTOL autonomous aircraft.
Objectives
Achieve operational use of EGNOS within the provision of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services, by implementing first Point-in-Space and Low-Level-Route operation in Spain;
Deploy first EGNOS services on eVTOL operation at Lleida-Alguaire airport (LEDA), and demonstrate how EGNOS can support UTM (Unmanned aircraft system Traffic Management) tasks for entry into operations;
Demonstrate how current EGNOS Safety-of-Life Service can best support eVTOL urban operations by hybridizing data from on-board sensors;
Enable EGNOS satellite navigation capabilities in autonomous eVTOL, for precise and integer navigation guidance and support of U-Space Airspace integration;
Develop, in-flight test and validate an EGNOS RNP flight procedure design criteria based on the specific navigation performance of an autonomous eVTOL passenger capable;
Promote the adoption of EGNOS services towards UAM services through the support of key stakeholders from different European cities and regions.
Evaluate how current EGNOS service could evolve to provide high-accuracy integrity values in combination with the Galileo High Accuracy Service; and
