Unifly joins SESAR JU to advance Europe’s digital sky for drones
Unifly has joined SESAR JU to help shape Europe’s digital airspace for drone operations.
The work is tied to CONDUCT 2, an effort focused on conflict detection and airspace segmentation for urban drone operations. Those capabilities are central to managing low-altitude flight in cities, where multiple unmanned aircraft may need to operate near buildings, infrastructure and other airspace users.
Conflict detection is designed to identify potential safety risks before flight paths overlap or create operational hazards. Airspace segmentation supports the division of airspace into defined areas, helping operators and authorities manage drone activity by location, mission type or operating conditions.
Unifly’s participation in SESAR JU reflects the growing role of digital traffic-management systems in Europe’s drone ecosystem. As urban drone use expands, safe coordination will become a core requirement for services ranging from infrastructure inspection to short-range logistics.
The outcome could support more predictable and scalable drone operations in dense environments. The broader implication is a step toward a digital European sky where crewed and uncrewed aviation can be managed safely in shared airspace.
