ITG demonstrates the operation of an autonomous drone station
The ITG Technology Centre, one of U-ELCOME Project partners, coordinated last week in the Port of A Coruña, before fifty companies and public entities, a demonstration of use cases of autonomous drones in a port environment.
The technology developed by ITG for autonomous drone operations and their safe integration into the airspace, through its platforms DroneSuite®️ and Daliah, was put into practice at this event, which counted with the collaboration of the Red Cross Maritime Rescue and drone operator companies such as Aeromedia, Aerocámaras and Nordés Tech.
ITG's technology will allow automated traffic of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in 2026. By that date, A Coruña will be one of the pioneering cities in Spain to deploy U-Space zones that meet all the regulatory requirements and technology necessary for a large number of drone operators to deploy their operations in a simultaneous, coordinated and automated manner.
The president of the Port Authority of A Coruña, Martín Fernández Prado, valued very positively all the innovation work that ITG is developing in this field. "The use of drones for the surveillance service and for the supervision of port infrastructures and operations will be very useful in the ports in the coming years, and this collaboration with the ITG Technology Centre will allow us to incorporate them in the short term in our daily work with a total guarantee of safety and efficiency", he pointed out.
