VIDEO: This is how the validation tests of Certiflight for Airspace Infringement and E-Conspicuity features took place

February 17, 2025

The European Certiflight project continues to advance in the validation of its technology with tests in different operational scenarios. On this occasion, a short video shows images of the recent test days carried out at an Italian airport in the Puglia region. The objective was to evaluate the detection of airspace infringements and the improvement of electronic visibility (E-Conspicuity) for general aviation.

The video footage shows both activity on the airport runway, where Certiflight has been integrated into UAS operations, and footage recorded from inside an aircraft equipped with this technology. During the tests, it was shown how Certiflight can provide evidence of non-infringement for drone flights, as well as improve the situational awareness of general aviation pilots through real-time alerts.

This trial is part of the project's validation plan, which aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the project in selected use cases. In recent months, the technology has been tested in various European environments, applied to sectors such as airport inspection, aerial monitoring, and agriculture. In this context, tests have validated aerial conflict resolution algorithms based on a geometric approach, integrating multiple variables such as velocity and position limits, temporal constraints, and data uncertainty.

This video provides a direct look at the real-world application of the technology, highlighting its ability to improve safety and efficiency in airspace management. With each new test, Certiflight continues to establish itself as a key tool for the safe integration of UAS and the optimisation of air navigation in Europe.
