**PORTAL** - _The infrastructure launchpad for the future of flight_To unlock the Future of Flight (FoF) potential and realise the 2% uptick in GDP (PWC forecast), scalable infrastructure to enable landing and take-off needs to be developed.PORTAL is a disruptive system-of-systems approach to infrastructure technology for vertiports, and this project will develop the technology needed to safely deploy landing locations at scale. By leveraging automation to manage drone traffic through on-ground situational awareness and connectivity, locations can reduce specialist staff, and in-turn, reduce operational costs. PORTAL will make it easy for any business to become a drone capable business, and will be able to serve new bespoke vertiports, be retro-fitted for installations on car parks, roof tops.If the advantages of VTOL aviation are to be realized in a sustainable and future proof way, it is essential to invest in the infrastructure of vertiports: not just pads but safe, efficient, scalable, and resilient systems to transition people and goods from ground to air and _vice versa_. This is exactly the focus of this proposal: efficiency and scalability arising from detailed design optimisation of vertiport systems offering high throughput flight capacity in a modular format. Safety and resilience are provided by precise monitoring and control, not just of air vehicle movements but of all the associated ground handling operations in the immediate air and ground environments.SLiNK-TECH, leading the project, will further develop their existing situational awareness and vertiport management capability, and integrate advanced sensing technology (Cambridge Sensoriis Ltd), innovative guidance beacons (R4DAR Technologies Ltd) and secure-by-design communications (ANGOKA Ltd). University of Bristol will be supporting the project with research into the airspace operational logic, supporting data analytics and providing flight test facilities through their Robotics Flight Lab. Snowdonia Aerospace Centre & Auriga Aerospace Ltd will provide operational support for the larger scale, harsh operational environment demonstrations featured during the project.[][0][][1][0]: #_msoanchor_1[1]: #_msoanchor_5

**门户** - _未来飞行的基础设施发射台_为了释放未来飞行 (FoF) 的潜力并实现 GDP 增长 2%（普华永道预测），需要开发可扩展的基础设施以实现着陆和起飞。 PORTAL 是垂直起场基础设施技术的颠覆性系统方法，该项目将开发大规模安全部署着陆点所需的技术。通过地面态势感知和连接，利用自动化来管理无人机交通，地点可以减少专业人员，进而降低运营成本。 PORTAL 将使任何企业都能轻松成为具备无人机能力的企业，并且能够为新的定制垂直起降场提供服务，并进行改装以安装在停车场、屋顶上。以可持续且面向未来的方式，投资垂直起落场的基础设施至关重要：不仅仅是起落架，还有安全、高效、可扩展和有弹性的系统，用于将人员和货物从地面转移到空中，反之亦然。这正是该提案的重点：垂直起落机场系统的详细设计优化所带来的效率和可扩展性，以模块化的形式提供高吞吐量的飞行能力。安全性和弹性是通过精确的监控和控制来提供的，不仅是对飞行器运动的监控和控制，而且是对直接空中和地面环境中所有相关地面处理操作的监控和控制。领导该项目的 SLiNK-TECH 将进一步开发其现有的态势感知和垂直起降系统管理能力，并集成先进的传感技术（Cambridge Sensoriis Ltd）、创新的引导信标（R4DAR Technologies Ltd）和安全设计通信（ANGOKA Ltd）。布里斯托大学将通过其机器人飞行实验室研究空域运行逻辑、支持数据分析并提供飞行测试设施来支持该项目。斯诺登尼亚航空航天中心和 Auriga 航空航天有限公司将为项目期间更大规模、恶劣操作环境的演示提供操作支持。[][0][][1][0]: #_msoanchor_1[1]: #_msoanchor_5
