| EuroDRONE – A European UTM testbed for U-space | Aims to connect various stakeholders (operators, regulators, law enforcement agencies, product developers) and different systems in a unified environment. Specifically, the demonstration will test U-space functionalities up to U3 in Missolonghi, Greece. The EuroDRONE drone architecture is made up of cloud software (DroNav) and hardware (transponder) to be installed on drones. It is a sophisticated self-learning system based on software and hardware elements, operating in a distributed computing environment, offering multiple levels of redundancy, fail-safe algorithms for conflict prevention/resolution and assets management. | · Aslogic

| GOF USPACE – Finnish-Estonian “Gulf of Finland” very large U-space demonstration |
Aims to establish a pre-operational flight information management system (FIMS) with an architecture capable of integrating existing commercial-off-the-shelf UTM components. The capabilities of the FIMS will be demonstrated in different live cases representing the most typical visual line of sight (VLOS) and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) missions: · International parcel delivery between Helsinki and Tallinn · Dense urban drone fleet operations in Helsinki with Police intervention · Dense urban drone fleet operations in Tallinn in controlled airspace · 100km+ BVLOS multisensory inspection flights in forestry and utility inspection · Co-operation with general aviation and recreational users at uncontrolled airport · Maritime traffic surveillance combined with search-and-rescue over Gulf of Finland · Drone Taxi flight from Helsinki-Vantaa airport to downtown Helsinki. |

| SAFIR – Safe and flexible integration of Initial U-space services in a real environment |
The demonstration will showcase an application for multiple drone operations that is viable, robust and ready-to-implement throughout Europe. A broad range of operations and services up to U3 linking to smart mobility will be demonstrated, including flights in both controlled and uncontrolled very low level (VLL) airspace; flights in both VLOS and BVLOS; and flights interacting with both manned aircraft and other unmanned aircraft. The operations will take place in Belgium at three locations: City of Antwerp, Port of Antwerp and a DronePort Test Facility in Sint-Truiden. | · Unifly

| VUTURA – Validation of U-space by tests in urban and rural areas | Aims to show how a common U-space framework (based on system-wide information management) with U1 and U2 services can enable multiple U-space service providers and multiple operators to execute commercially feasible B-VLOS operations. The demonstration will showcase these operations in a rural, urban and smart city environment. Each of the scenarios involve two service providers that have to coordinate their services and demonstrate many realistic elements: manned aviation, different levels of automation, off-the-shelf drones versus tailor-made drones, commercial and leisure drones. The flight demonstrations will be performed at different locations in The Netherlands (Delft, Enschede, Flevoland Province), in close cooperation with the civil aviation authorities. | · Stichting Nationaal Lucht- en Ruimtevaartlaboratorium (NLR)

The aforementioned demonstrations will complement the following already existing demonstration projects
| Name of Demonstration | Description | Participating Organisations |
| GEOSAFE – Geofencing for safe and autonomous flight in Europe | Aims to establish state-of-the-art geofencing solutions regarding U-space regulation, to propose/evaluate improvements and recommendations for future geofencing system definition through an extensive flight-test campaign to be conducted at Pourrières, Bordeaux, Montmagny and Valence in France. The campaign will employ a number of commercially-available geofencing solutions to address drone behavior in in different situations. The campaign will also perform a technical assessment of the navigation system performance on the efficiency of geofencing. | · AirMap
