f.u.n.k.e. AVIONICS supplies components for Advanced Air Mobility avionics systems
As part of the “C2Land” project, funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (FKZ: 50NA2003) and administered by the DLR Space Management, f.u.n.k.e. AVIONICS GmbH, together with the Technical University of Braunschweig, the Technical University of Munich and Volocopter, developed a system for automatic landing for VTOL aircraft and integrated it into the Volocopter test platform. The C2Land system is a camera-assisted navigation and flight control system to automatically identify the runway and guide the aircraft there. The system tested works independently of the GPS-based landing system and is used for automatic and autonomous Advanced Air Mobility and Urban Air Mobility landings. In this research project, f.u.n.k.e. AVIOINICS developed the transponder-based anti-collision system, which initiates an automatic evasive maneuver in the event of an intrusion into the airspace. The system has been validated during a flight test campaign and paves the way for the use of the technology in manned and unmanned aircraft as a backup for GNSS-based navigation systems, which are increasingly faced with problems such as jamming and spoofing.

funke AVIONICS successfully completed Master360 Flight Test

Together with our partner Leibniz Universität Hannover, we completed a flight test campaign around Ulm to verify the performance of the innovative antenna design. The antenna was developed in the frame of the Master360 research program.

During the flight test, we determined the aircraft’s heading and distance utilizing interrogation technology. To do this, our antenna on the ground sends a request for information to aircrafts and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). They then return a signal containing valuable information for tracking which may be used by Air Traffic Control (ATC).

The Master360 project goal is to develop a cooperative system for autonomous flight of UAVs. It is supported by the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz and executed with several partners including Airbus, Airbus Helicopters, ASX, BIT-TS, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V., DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, funke AVIONICS, Fraunhofer FHR, Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg (HAW Hamburg), Kappa optronics GmbH, and Leibniz Universität Hannover.
