IKTFORSKNING-IKTFORSKNING

2nd International Workshop on Icing of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles

In-flight icing of UAVs is a meteorological risk that endangers UAVs and prevents safe operations in cold weather. UAV icing is an emerging research field where Norway is a key stakeholder – both because due to the cold climate UAV operations are often affected by icing, and also because Norway i...

PES-HORISONT-EU-PES Horisont Europa

The first autonomous ice protection system applicable to any type of Aerial Vehicle

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming integral to logistics, scientific research, urban services, and various public services. Unfortunately, the great majority of the countries that will determine how drones could impact society are located in “icing conditions” regions. Effective de-icin...

PES-HORISONT-EU-PES Horisont Europa

Advanced capabilities & Certification for Tactical UAV Systems

Here is the ACTUS project focus if we do get to be a part of this EDF project: The primary project focus is protecting the thrust propeller and providing robust ice detection that can also provide control of the existing heated pitot tube of the aircraft. These capabilities will allow the aircra...

Drone-mapping Surging Glaciers in Svalbard, RIS-ID 11861

Surging glaciers are of great interest as their behavior gives insights into glacier dynamic processes. Svalbard is one of the few clusters in the world where surging glaciers exist. Recently, two glacier systems that are easily accessible from Longyearbyen started surging. This project will use ...

Adverse weather mission planning for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)

Considering global urbanisation, overloaded road infrastructure, and the constantly increasing need for transport of goods and people, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) constitute a future-proof alternative. UAVs can relieve the current infrastructure and enable efficient transport of goods (and ev...

Industrial PhD on Propeller Icing on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

The global rise in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has expanded their deployment into increasingly harsh and challenging environments, including those with severe weather. A major operational hazard in such conditions is atmospheric icing, which occurs when aircraft fly through clouds ...

Using UAVs to investigate effects of crevasses upon glacier surface melting, RiS-ID 11148

The project involves the novel application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to overcome the hazards associated with studying the effect of crevasses upon glacier surface melting. Firstly, we will derive a function with which a UAV can be used to estimate wind speed and direction. Secondly, we w...
