High Altitude Ice Crystals (HAIC)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Commercial aircraft have been experiencing in-service events while flying in the vicinity of deep convective clouds since at least the early 1990s. Heated probes and engines are the areas of air-craft most prone to mixed phase and glaciated icing threat. In anticipation of regulation changes regarding mixed phase and glaciated icing conditions, the HAIC project will provide the necessary Acceptabl ...

REconfiguration of CONtrol in Flight for Integral Global Upset REcovery (RECONFIGURE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Commercial aircraft fault tolerant control (FTC) strategies in the flight control system (FCS) are based on fail-safe approaches whereby a nominal control law is switched first to a robust solution and then if necessary to a direct law controlling the actuators surfaces. Each component of the control law set is designed off-line and has a different level of robustness and performance. The reasons ...

Hypersonic Morphing for a Cabin Escape System (HYPMOCES)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

"Passenger safety is one of the main drivers for the development of future trans-atmospheric transportation systems. The high levels of energy associated hypersonic flights as well as the level of reliability of the enabling technology leads to the need of a passenger escape system in case of flight abort.The implementation of a cabin escape system for a hypersonic aircraft is challenged by the in ...

Deployable SAR Integrated Chain with Unmanned Systems (DARIUS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Unmanned systems through military programs and numerous R&D projects are now becoming operationally mature. Their use in Search and Rescue operations can now be envisaged to enhance first responder capabilities and intervene in hazardous areas. For cost and procedural reasons however, the market is still very fragmented and business models are unclear.The DARIUS project will leverage previous R&D ...

BOmb factory detection by Networks of Advanced Sensors (BONAS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"The aim of BONAS is to design, develop and test a novel wireless sensors network for increasing citizen protection and homeland security against terrorist attacks, in particular against the threat posed by IED devices. The sensor network will focus on the detection of traces of precursors used in IED production (particulates, gases and/or waterborne) present in the environment surrounding the vic ...

Protecting space assets from high energy particles by developing European dynamic modelling and forecasting capabilities (SPACECAST)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

"Solar activity can trigger sporadic bursts of energetic particles and increase the number of high energy (MeV) particles trapped inside the Earth’s radiation belts. These high energy particles cause damage to satellites and are a hazard for manned spaceflight and aviation. They are difficult to predict due to uncertainties over the basic physical processes, and the need to access reliable data ...

Propellantless deorbiting of space debris by bare electrodynamic tethers (BETs)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

"Concern about the growth of space debris, aggravated by the increase in the number of countries with direct access to space, made the SPA.2010.2.3-02 Call Topic suggest ""preventing generation of new debris and de-orbiting upper stages and spacecraft after mission completion"". The Project proposed involves Research and Technology Development of an efficient deorbit system, to be carried in the ...

Transportable Autonomous patrol for Land bOrder Surveillance (TALOS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,

The main objective of TALOS multidisciplinary project is to develop and field test the innovative concept of a mobile, modular, scalable, autonomous and adaptive system for protecting European borders. The conventional border protection systems are based mainly on expensive ground facilities installed along the entire length of the border used only to observe, detect and warn. This infrastructure ...

SCAlable & ReconfigurabLe Electronics plaTforms and Tools (SCARLETT)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

"The first generation of Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA1G) has been researched via European funded research projects; PAMELA, NEVADA and VICTORIA. This technology supported a revolutionary step away from federated architectures and their classical bespoke electronics to a modular architecture with common resources. IMA1G was introduced to the market on the A380, A400M and B787 aircraft. IMA1G re ...

Innovative propellants in hybrid propulsion technology and its applications in space transportation (ORPHEE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"Nowadays, chemical propulsion is based on solid (launch applications like first stage booster) or liquid technologies (upper stage engines). Complementary, hybrid propulsion technology, as defined in ORPHEE (Operational Research Project on Hybrid Engine in Europe), appears as a new generation of advanced space transportation system. Engines based on this innovative propulsion concept provide adva ...

More Integrated Systems Safety Assessment (MISSA)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"The increase of aerospace systems complexity has meant that by using existing methods for systems development, industry has reached a barrier to innovation and a risk to the competitiveness of products. This is characterised by an increasing time to market for new technologies, increasing costs to demonstrate proof of safety, a greater demand for skilled resources and a limitation on design itera ...
