The conference
Drones and air mobility: ENEA Brasimone as an infrastructure for addressing technological, regulatory and operational challenges Security, transport, agriculture and monitoring: innovation through a sandbox in Emilia-Romagna
The current context, shaped by geopolitical crises and environmental, health and social emergencies, calls for new solutions to ensure security and resilience. In this scenario, drones and advanced air mobility can make a major contribution to environmental monitoring, territorial surveillance, infrastructure protection and the transport of materials to hard-to-reach areas, as well as support for routine services, with economic, industrial and social benefits.
To fully unlock this potential, suitable physical, digital and regulatory infrastructure must be developed in cooperation with ENAC. A key role could be played by a “sandbox”, a testing environment at the ENEA Brasimone Research Centre (Bologna), in Emilia-Romagna, where institutions, research organisations and companies can work together to innovate and test new applications, laying the foundations for an innovative model that can be replicated in other contexts and contributing to security, sustainability and territorial protection.
