Nicki Harricharan - Operations Programme Manager, CANSO talks with Global Airspace Radar, Editor-in-Chief Claudia Bacco about the importance of operations and safety being an integrated effort within our industry.

This topic spans beyond traditional air navigation service provider (ANSP) activities related to air traffic management and unmanned traffic management integration. Today the presence of drones is increasing along with the introduction of advanced air mobility, high altitude operations and space traffic. The conversation considers the implications of this shift in traffic and concepts to ensure safety remains the top priority as this evolution occurs.

There's also a look toward the upcoming Airspace World, 26 - 28 May in Lisbon.

Thomas Neubauer, CEO of Dimetor discusses with Vincent Lambercy about the latest progresses in drone detection technology. This episode covers various technologies that can be used but also Dimetor speciality: extracting intelligence from telecom data.

When drones are controlled using 5G networks, simple RF-scanners can't detect them anymore. Identifying drone-related traffic in the flow of 5G data is possible using artificial intelligence and seeing the network as a sensor.

An interesting second use case is detecting GNSS jamming and spoofing, which is also a growing concern for aviation.

Philip Butterworth-Hayes, Publisher of Unmanned Airspace and Urban Air Mobility News, turns the tables and interviews Claudia Bacco, Editor-in-Chief, Global Airspace Radar about the recent xponential Europe conference and exhibition.

The discussion looks at what's different about the topics covered during this event, the event itself - hot or not, and a bit of a side step in cybersecurity. It isn't the same conversation about why it's taking so long for drones to scale in Europe!
