Our first drone noise measurement 🎤 campaign at #EIH our Innovation Hub aims to model sound exposure from #UAS operations at ground level. It's part of the Measurement of UAS Sound Impact (MUSIC) project.
The future #ATM air traffic management ecosystem will have to incorporate new entrants like #UAS Unmanned Aerial Systems & #eVTOL Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing vehicles.
In addition to safe and seamless operational integration, it is essential to tackle 'drone noise' in order to reduce nuisance for the population exposed to overflights and facilitate societal acceptance.
👉 To tackle this, EUROCONTROL's Aviation Sustainability and CNS teams have initiated a UAS noise measurement campaign to gather noise data for various UAS vehicles flying in a range of operating modes and under various atmospheric conditions. We'll then combine this with trajectory data provided by platforms such as #ACUTE, our drone traffic monitoring system, to model overall sound exposure on the ground.
After a successful proof-of-concept phase, trials will continue in 2024.
👉 As a long-term objective, we envisage integrating this modelling capability into #IMPACT, EUROCONTROL's unique aviation noise and emissions modelling platform.
