Drone flights to transport cargo to maritime platforms are commented on by DECEA

Among the various projects of the Strategic Program of the Department of Airspace Control (DECEA) – the SIRIUS Brazil Program, is the one that aims to integrate the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) into the Brazilian Airspace Control System . Since June this year, DECEA has been monitoring the operation tests of remotely piloted aircraft at the Macae Terminal, with the aim of defining and evaluating the operational scenario for carrying out flights with drones in controlled Class C airspace, with radar surveillance and use of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance System for Broadcasting (ADS-B), whose traffic will be managed by Controle Macae, an entity of NAV Brasil. A region of great relevance for the country, the Campos Basin (Bacia de Campos), known as the Brazilian Oil Capital, has more than 45 platforms, on which thousands of professionals travel on an average of 190 daily flights. In this scenario, the logistical challenges are of great complexity, and the use of drones to support platform demands is a pioneering solution. Recently, DECEA followed the unprecedented long-range flight of a civilian drone, the Norwegian-made LN-310-NC, which, departing from a helipad in Imbetiba, Macae, RJ, arrived at a maritime platform 94 nautical miles (the equivalent of 172 km) away. – https://aeroin.net/voos-de-drones-para-transporte-de-cargas-para-plataformas-maritimas-sao-comentados-pelo-decea/
