Saura presides over the first public demonstration of drone integration in airspace
The DOMUS consortium, led by ENAIRE, conducted a public demonstration today, which doubled as a testing laboratory, to ensure that unmanned aircraft can coexist in a safe, orderly and efficient manner with the other 'actors' that use the airspace, such as commercial and general aviation.

Indra, key partner of the alliance that will boost European Airports Capacity with Satellite-based landing systems
Indra is a key partner of the European GBAS Alliance that will start to deploy this year state-of-the-art satellite-based landing systems at airports all around Europe to increase runaway capacity by up to 6% in peak traffic periods. This technology allows aircrafts for steeper approaches, which saves fuel and reduces noise and CO2 emissions. Further, GBAS improves airport capacity by letting approaching aircraft use different glide slopes to avoid wake turbulence left by precedent aircraft in the runaway.

Southern Italy Miltary ATC Expansion by SITTI
The Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare – AM) has a base close to Trapani, Sicily, for the coverage of the Southern Italian air space. The Trapani air base is already equipped with a MULTIFONO® M800IP Voice Communication System (VCS) which has now to be expanded to allow local military personnel to better supervise the area. It not just a matter of expanding the number of Controller Working Positions, but also to reinforce ancillary (yet not less important) aspects like duplicated power distribution, batteries, loudspeakers, etc.
