Autonomous Systems Technology Related Airborne Evaluation & Assessment (ASTRAEA) is a project to develop unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to fly in civil airspace.[1][2] Both UK government agencies and companies such as AOS Group, BAE Systems, Qinetiq, Rolls-Royce plc, Cassidian, Cobham plc, EADS and Thales UK are involved.[1] The project began in 2006.[3][1][4]
Currently, UAVs can only operate in UK airspace under restricted conditions.[3]
ParcAberporth has a centre dedicated to ASTRAEA.[4] Permission has been sought for a permanent segregated airspace around ParcAberporth for testing UAVs over land.[5][6]
Concerns about safety, privacy and noise were raised during consultative sessions.[7]
