The Belgian air navigation service provider skeyes will in future rely on a CNS (Communication, Navigation, Surveillance) drone specially developed by its Swiss counterpart Skyguide to check the performance of navigation aids.
In the future, mobility as a service will improve intermodality, connecting many modes of transport into seamless door-to-door services for people and goods. There will be more diverse aircraft in the European skies than ever before, and (civil and military) drones will be completely and seamlessly integrated into all environments and classes of airspace, operating safely and efficiently alongside manned aircraft.
Brussels Airport and skeyes continue to explore the possible uses of drones at the airport with a second series of testing days. These test days specifically focus on the use of drones for bird control at the airport, to monitor the presence of birds and to direct them away from aircraft when necessary. The tests happen in safe conditions during normal operations and will have no impact on the air traffic.
In the beginning of 2020, skeyes founded a commercial subsidiary, SkeyDrone. A well-considered choice that underlined skeyes' ambition to continue playing a pioneering role in Europe to enable the safe and efficient integration of drones into airspace. Where are skeyes and SkeyDrone one year later? Which projects have been accomplished and what can we expect in the near future? Peggy Devestel, COO of skeyes, and Hendrik-Jan Van Der Gucht, Managing Director of SkeyDrone explain the plans.
