Post-Doc researcher on UTM and Multi-agent systems (Chaire drones et UTM)
Société : ENAC Lieu : Haute-Garonne (Occitanie)
Présentation de l'entreprise
L’ENAC, École Nationale de l’Aviation Civile, est la plus importante des Grandes Écoles ou universités aéronautiques en Europe. Elle forme à un spectre large de métiers : des ingénieurs ou des professionnels de haut niveau capables de concevoir et faire évoluer les systèmes aéronautiques et plus largement ceux du transport aérien ainsi que des pilotes de ligne, des contrôleurs aériens ou encore des techniciens aéronautiques.
Ses laboratoires de recherche sont à la pointe de l’innovation et travaillent activement en coopération avec des universités internationales de haut niveau pour un transport aérien toujours plus sûr, efficace et durable.
L’ENAC est un établissement public à caractère scientifique, culturel et professionnel – grand établissement (EPSCP-GE), sous tutelle de la DGAC (Direction Générale de l’Aviation Civile), Direction du Ministère de la Transition Écologique et Solidaire. L’ENAC comprend une direction générale localisée à Toulouse et 8 sites en France.
Pour soutenir sa dynamique en faveur de la promotion de la diversité, l’ENAC facilite l’accueil et l’intégration des travailleurs en situation de handicap.
ENAC Drones and UTM Chair (Research Group), sponsored by AIRBUS and Sopra Steria, tackling the problem of safe integration of UAS into controlled and uncontrolled airspace. We strongly believe that having a complete understanding and expertise on the design, control, guidance and intelligence of UAS is the key to address these issues.
Currently, ENAC infrastructure includes an indoor flight arena (10mx10mx10m) with OptiTrack motion capture system, outdoor flight possibility located at Muret radio controlled model aircraft field (south of Toulouse, France), UAS expertise by the Dynamic Systems axis researchers, and the full access to the open-source autopilot system Paparazzi by the in-house developers. These capabilities lets us materialize our ideas starting from the use-cases up to the point of realistic demonstrations ! Outside !
Researchers working in the Drones & UTM Research Chair will also leverage ENAC's expertise on Air Traffic Management and can work with ACHIL platform which has UTM simulation capabilities.
The candidate will :
· Be responsible for monitoring developments in U-space regulations and their consequences on the management of drone operations, particularly in controlled areas. He/she will work on the study of the ATM/UTM interface and the means to be implemented to enable it under safe conditions: space and trajectory management, necessary data exchanges, U-space services to be implemented, new tools, new working methods, etc.
· Participate in the design and implementation of simulations and experiments linked to the use of UAVs and their integration into airspace.
· Develop and simulate initial use cases in the ENAC lab's technological ecosystem: flying arena, open source paparazzi autopilot, and contribute to validating scenario compliance with the European Operations
· Participate in national and international standardization and regulatory bodies, as well as in thematic working groups (Sesar UCC, EuroControl, EuroCAE, …).
· Provide use cases and scenarios forming a concept of operations, determine requirements and KPIs from the user's point of view, closely monitor the evolution of regulatory and legal aspects and their compliance within the project.
· Contribute to other subjects (ethical considerations, social acceptability, RGPD aspects, payload and drone adaptation, architecture definition, innovation management and exploitation plans, dissemination and communication).
· Collaborate closely with other researchers and engineers to integrate the developed algorithms into existing platforms.
· Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in the fields of artificial intelligence, UTM and Digital Aviation.
· Publish research findings in high-impact journals and present at relevant conferences and workshops.
Mentor and collaborate with graduate and undergraduate students in the research group
