The BURDI project invites stakeholders across Europe to participate in a pivotal survey that will shape the future of U-space services. Led by Future Needs, these surveys aim to develop innovative solutions for managing drone operations while ensuring they are economically sustainable and socially accepted. Your input is essential in achieving these goals.
Why Your Feedback Matters
The BURDI project is on a mission to create a robust U-space airspace concept, addressing the challenges of managing dense, diverse, and complex drone operations across various environments—controlled, uncontrolled, and urban. To succeed, we need input from key stakeholders like you.
By participating in this survey, you’ll help:
- Develop a Strong U-Space Framework: Ensure unmanned aerial systems are seamlessly integrated into different airspace scenarios, from rural deliveries to dense urban air mobility networks.
- Standardise Best Practices Across Europe: Establish harmonized standards, best practices, and interoperability for consistent U-space operations.
- Ensure Economic and Social Sustainability: Create solutions that are both cost-effective and embraced by the public, making U-space accessible and beneficial for all.
Future Needs plays a critical role in this effort, leading the work to align U-space solutions with the needs of stakeholders and communities.
About the U-Space Survey
This survey directly supports BURDI’s goal of achieving economic and social sustainability. It specifically examines the financial and societal aspects of U-space service categories—U1 and U2—as defined by the SESAR Joint Undertaking, targeting both supply- and demand-side stakeholders.
- Supply Side (U-space Providers): This survey is aimed at organizations and businesses providing U-space services, such as drone traffic management systems, navigation solutions, or other related technologies. We aim to gather insights into operational costs, pricing strategies, service models, and market dynamics to help refine U-space services and ensure their long-term sustainability.
- Demand Side (U-space Consumers): This survey targets end-users of U-space services, including businesses and individuals who rely on drone operations for tasks such as delivery, inspection, surveillance, or transport. We seek to understand customer preferences, pricing sensitivities, and specific service needs to align U-space offerings with user demands and expectations.
By analyzing these perspectives, we’ll develop balanced models that promote affordability, profitability, and public trust.
Future Needs: Driving the BURDI Vision
At Future Needs, we’re committed to ensuring that U-space services are practical, accessible, and beneficial for everyone. Our work focuses on gathering comprehensive data, engaging with stakeholders, and designing solutions that balance community acceptance with financial sustainability.
