INFO

The Estonian Transport Administration, with funding from the Estonian Business and Innovation Agency, launched a project in 2023 to develop a concept for a sandbox for automated aviation systems that will be built in Tartu. The establishment of a sandbox will open up opportunities for the wide-scale development and deployment of unmanned aviation technologies. This will prepare the way for innovative aviation concepts and safety standards, and facilitate the safe testing of automated aviation systems. The long-term aim is to create an innovation environment for unmanned aviation that bridges all key stakeholders, including airspace users, industrial companies and research institutions.
