DRONELINKPLUS is an R&D project centered on innovative 5G connectivity solutions that enable cooperative, secure, and efficient UAV missions. Leveraging advanced 5G-based communications alongside complementary technologies, the project seeks to equip UAVs with enhanced CNS (communications, navigation, and surveillance) capabilities. This will allow multiple unmanned aircraft—of varying sizes and configurations—to coordinate safely in shared airspace. Alpha Unmanned Systems’ role focuses on refining multi-drone swarm operations, developing software and flight-control methods that integrate with new 5G-based link technologies. By doing so, Alpha helps ensure that its rotary-wing UAV platforms can perform collaborative flights and gain enhanced situational awareness (sense-and-avoid) for complex, long-range missions.
