Commercial UAS operations require much more than “just” getting the drone airborne. Not least, they require a suitable ground infrastructure. That is why the Competence Group (CG) Infrastructure Ground within our association is developing ideas and concepts for the design of vertiports as well as general takeoff and landing zones for unmanned aircraft systems.
“The future of unmanned aviation will not be decided solely in the air, but above all on the ground,” says Benjamin Spiske, Head of CG Infrastructure Ground. “As an architect and expert in aviation infrastructure, it is important to me to bridge the gap between technological innovation, regulatory requirements, and practical implementation.”
International collaboration and the opportunity to actively shape the industry’s development led Benjamin to UAV DACH. His primary job is at BATT Suisse GmbH. As head of the Competence Group, he aims to “help turn innovative concepts into concrete, scalable, and economically viable infrastructure solutions.”
What makes the association special to him is the “combination of in-depth expertise, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a shared commitment not only to discuss the future of unmanned aviation but also to actively shape it.”
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Benjamin and all members of CG Infrastructure Ground for their dedication. We look forward to continuing our constructive and fruitful collaboration as we work toward an internationally competitive European drone industry.
