Work Packages

WP1-Case Studies, Benchmarking and Quality assurance

This WP demonstrates how the COMP4DRONES framework and methodologies apply to industrial
applications with well-identified performance, security and safety requirements. The framework will also be
assessed regarding productivity and usability aspects. Use-cases will be used to measure quantitatively and
qualitatively the efficiency and effectiveness of the technological innovations, tools, methodologies, and asses
the metrics established for them.

WP2-Specifications and Methodology

This WP represents our collective effort to fix the details and limit of how much we want to go ahead into the
future and how much we can safely produce in three years. It is governed by the fundamental principle of
providing qualifiable embedded platforms for civilian drones. This WP is orchestrated by industrial partners
at the beginning of the project and will bring the framework specification, the tools and interfaces needed, and
their assessment in the use cases. The correctness and value of the COMP4DRONES technological
innovations, methodology and tools, and the easy or taught of their integration depend upon the coherence and
vision formalized in this initial effort of the project.

WP3-Integrated Modular architecture for Drone

The main goal of this work package is to provide reference architecture of a flexible embedded platform
inspired from avionic practice (i.e. ARINC). This reference architecture will be based on modularity and
separation of concerns. Also, this WP will focus on the setting-up of common repository of generic qualified
components maintained by drone’s community (WP6).

WP4- Enabling drones to take safe autonomous decisions

To enable safe flight in complex environments, this WP aims to extend the navigation system with intelligent
dynamic control feature capable of adjusting and fine-tuning the movement of drones during individual or
cooperative missions.

WP5-Trusted Communication

The goal of this work package is to ensure robust and efficient drone communications even in presence of
malicious attackers and taking into considerations intrinsic regulation and embedded platform constraints.

WP6-Design, Performance and Verification Tools

This WP is to define and set-up a system engineering framework and development workbench to support the
development of qualifiable components and platforms for civilian drones.

WP7-Exploitation, Dissemination, Training and Standardization

This WP includes all the dissemination activities aimed at securing adoption at the drones industrial and
research stakeholder.

WP8- Project, Risk and Innovation Management

This WP is devoted to project risk and innovation management to ensure progress at the technical level as well
as administrative management allowing proper steering of the project and interactions with the EC and national
authorities.
