According to a Linkedin post and table from Philippe Carous, an aviation lawyer with Brussels-based Erkelens Law, Poland and Croatia are leading the drive in Europe to implement U-space services, based Eurocontrol data (U-Space Implementation Monitoring Rep., Nov. 2020). France and Germany are third and fourth in the table. The visual above shows the gradual implementation in phases U2 (2021) of the 16 U-space services in Europe although several countries – Austria, Cyprus, Switzerland, Malta, Romania, Italy and Bulgaria – have not been included in the review.
Poland’s lead is even more significant as the country has already complete two elements of U-space three “advanced services” – dynamic geo-fencing and collaborative interface with ATC (see below) – not scheduled for implementation until 2025.
