Drones cause a lot of trouble even with little air traffic." This was announced by the DFS German Air Traffic Control in January 2021 via a press release. According to DFS, there were a total of 92 reported disabilities caused by drones in German airspace in 2020. A clear minus compared to previous years, which was, however, less severe than the drastic reduction in air traffic in the Corona year 2020. And more than half of the reported incidents led to disruptions in air traffic. Air traffic control and airport operators are therefore placing great hopes in the system for effective drone detection, which DFS is to develop on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure . in theIn the summer of last year, DFS investigated what an effective use of current detection systems at the major airports in Frankfurt and Munich could look like in live operation .
The function of GPS in drone navigation "We know that it's pretty tricky for drones, whether they're flying or stationary. We have some tools to deal with this problem and a few interesting things are happening there." He adds: "In the case where you could only use one satellite as an external compass (which is what we see at places like São Paulo), then why should any other solution exist? So when all else fails you can resort back towards ground-based telemetry using your own satellites - something our team has been working on ever since 2019". All current solutions require sending signals through multiple communication channels instead of having two different receivers transmit information across distance.
