Qascom, UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía, Acorde, and EuroUSC are participating in the development of the DronEborne Galileo RecEivEr (DEGREE), a state-of-the-art GNSS receiver, providing a reliable and
flexible solution to allow the safe conduct of SORA SAIL III & IV flight operations.
Most UAVs can be directly employed for the Open Category of UAS operation that, considering the risks involved, does not require prior authorisation by the competent authority nor a declaration by the UAS operator before the flight. Technology development and EU investments in GNSS receivers, including
the DEGREE project, are now focusing on the requirements related to the Specific Category of UAS operation in terms of the security and safety of the navigation subsystems. This is due to the high added value of the multiple operations included in this category.
The objective of the DEGREE project is the…
