España. CORREOS inicia las pruebas con drones para facilitar el servicio en zonas de difícil acceso y condiciones climáticas adversas
- El uso del dron se plantea como herramienta complementaria para ayudar al cartero rural en el desempeño de sus funciones
- La empresa postal está probando la tecnología dron para evaluar su viabilidad para el reparto en algunas zonas de difícil acceso y en condiciones climatológicas adversas
- https://youtu.be/CplBeZgg0iA
Madrid, 4 de diciembre de 2015.- CORREOS está realizando pruebas de viabilidad de la tecnología de vehículos aéreos no tripulados (drones) para mejorar la prestación del servicio postal y de paquetería y se suma al resto de los operadores postales europeos que también están realizando pruebas con esta tecnología. La empresa postal ha llevado a cabo las pruebas con drones en la localidad asturiana de Sotres, zona de difícil acceso que suele quedar aislada en la época invernal.
CORREOS es el operador designado para prestar el Servicio Postal Universal (SPU), lo que implica garantizar la recogida y entrega de envíos cinco días a la semana. Esta labor se ve dificultada en determinadas localizaciones, ya que en España hay pueblos que se quedan aislados a menudo, sobre todo en invierno. Estos emplazamientos suelen tener rutas de acceso complicadas por carretera para los carteros. El uso de drones permitiría una mejor prestación del servicio. Es más, en caso de emergencia y/o aislamiento, también la tecnología dron podría resultar útil para hacer llegar un artículo de primera necesidad. Por ello, CORREOS se ha planteado la aplicación de esta tecnología para disponer de un sistema que le permita llevar a puntos que estén aislados materiales de primera necesidad y poco peso, sin exponer la seguridad del cartero.
Este es el punto de partida para las pruebas realizadas en Sotres (Asturias): poder acceder a zonas de difícil acceso, bien sea por inclemencias meteorológicas o por un acceso complicado por carretera, mediante drones. Con ello se proporciona una herramienta para que los carteros puedan cumplir mejor su trabajo, y exponerse menos en zonas de mal acceso.
La elección de Sotres se ha realizado por las áreas operativas y de tecnología de CORREOS. Es un pueblo situado en el concejo de Cabrales, Asturias, dentro del Parque Nacional de Picos de Europa, con un acceso complicado por carretera, además de que en invierno es frecuente que quede, durante largos periodos, aislado por la nieve y el hielo.
Las pruebas se han realizado desde dos ubicaciones distintas, una situada a 3 Km y otra a 2,5 Km, que son zonas más accesibles que el propio pueblo y que se encuentran en la ruta del cartero. Estas rutas han sido identificadas con la colaboración del cartero local. Para la realización de estas pruebas la empresa postal ha solicitado todos los permisos necesarios tanto a AESA como a Parques Nacionales.
CORREOS se suma así a otros operadores postales públicos como La Poste y SwissPost, y operadores logísticos privados como Amazon y DHL que están probando la viabilidad de incorporar el dron en el servicio de reparto de paquetería.
Características técnicas del dron utilizado
Es un hexacóptero, multirrotor de 6 motores con hélices que puede llevar hasta 1,5 Kg de carga, capaz de aguantar vientos de 40Km/h. Se guía por GPS, y es completamente autónomo en su manejo. Desde el primer momento, se le marca una ruta por puntos de GPS y no necesita que un operador le ordene aunque, por seguridad, éste tiene el mando, para poder tomar el control del aparato en un momento determinado.
En caso de perder la señal de radio del emisor, está dotado de un sistema de seguridad que le obliga a volver a “casa” por la misma ruta que ha venido. Este sistema también lo puede activar el operador en cualquier momento. Este dron es, técnicamente, de un manejo sencillo para los carteros, ya que se programa el itinerario, la altura de vuelo y las paradas mediante software.
La prueba permite comprobar los límites de esta tecnología en un entorno real, con problemática real, y definir los procesos y recursos necesarios para poder implantar el servicio en un futuro, siempre con el objetivo de ayudar al cartero en el desempeño de su labor mejorando los procesos de seguridad.
CORREOS ya tiene experiencia en el uso de drones para otras aplicaciones. Concretamente, en el marco del programa del CEIN “Impulso Emprendedor”, la empresa postal mentorizó el proyecto de Technidrone, empresa especializada en la búsqueda de nuevos usos para la tecnología dron, más allá de la toma de imágenes. Con ellos, CORREOS realizó una prueba para evaluar el potencial de esta tecnología aplicado al estudio energético de naves industriales. La prueba se llevó a cabo en el Centro de Tratamiento Automatizado de Zaragoza y las conclusiones ratificaron la viabilidad de la tecnología dron para su uso en el control y mejora de la eficiencia energética de los edificios mediante el análisis de imágenes termográficas obtenidas con el vehículo.

Madrid. Congreso La Década Prodigiosa de la Aviación española. Los grandes Raids
Congreso La Década Prodigiosa de la Aviación española. Los grandes Raids
Del 14 al 17 de diciembre, la Biblioteca Nacional de España (BNE) acogerá el Congreso La Década Prodigiosa de la Aviación española. Los grandes Raids, organizado por el Servicio Histórico y Cultural del Ejército del Aire (SHYCEA).
En las primeras décadas del pasado siglo XX, la Aviación Militar española llevó a cabo proezas que han marcado la historia de la aeronáutica en España. Los denominados Grandes Vuelos, como el Plus Ultra, patrulla Elcano, patrulla Atlántida, Jesús del Gran Poder y el Cuatro Vientos, unidos a los inicios de la aviación como arma aérea en el desembarco de Alhucemas, fijaron los cimientos de creación de nuestro Ejército del Aire.
Aquellos intrépidos y valientes aviadores, imbuidos de su pasión por volar, nos marcaron el rumbo a seguir para, después de más de 75 años de existencia como Ejército del Aire, perseguir los más altos vuelos y los objetivos más inalcanzables.
El espíritu aventurero y el carácter expedicionario que supusieron aquellas heroicas gestas, continúan vivas en nuestros hombres y mujeres que, desplegados en zonas de operaciones en diferentes lugares del mundo, prestan con ilusión su más valioso servicio a España.
Es justo reconocer y homenajear a aquellos pioneros de la aviación que, entre otras naciones más industrializadas, supieron dejar muy alto y con honor el pabellón de España, logrando hacer realidad uno de los más ansiados sueños del hombre, el sueño de volar.
La entrada al Congreso es libre, siendo el aforo limitado, y las conferencias se retransmitirán en directo a través de la web de la BNE.
Durante los días que dure el Congreso se instalará en los jardines de la BNE un avión North American Texan T-6G.
Airbus A380 cracks 600 passenger ceiling and 400 passenger floor
Two decks. Four engines. Four classes. And fewer than four hundred passengers on board — or more than six hundred. That’s the reality of the Airbus A380 as 2015 comes to a close, ten years after the superjumbo first flew.
As early adopters Emirates and Singapore Airlines work through their calculations on what the future of the Airbus A380 looks like, it’s fascinating that the two airlines have reached very different conclusions.

A Closer Look at Space Debris: Lockheed Martin and Electro Optic Systems Break Ground on Australian Space Tracking Site
New ground site to improve space situational awareness for commercial and government operators
CANBERRA, Australia Dec. 1, 2015 – Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and Electro Optic Systems Pty Ltd (ASX: EOS) have broken ground on a new space object tracking facility in Australia that aims to provide commercial and government customers an unprecedented view of orbital space debris fields.
It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of debris objects in orbit, ranging from spent rocket parts to pieces of defunct satellites. These objects pose a major threat to satellites in orbit that power everything from smartphones and weather prediction to national security and global financial markets. The new space object tracking site will give satellite operators a clearer picture of the debris that could damage their networks, and how they can avoid potential collisions.
"The expansion of space debris tracking by EOS and Lockheed Martin is expected to make a significant contribution to the preservation of the space environment, by providing data which will enable cost-effective debris manoeuvre for satellites,” said Mark Valerio, Lockheed Martin vice president and general manager of Military Space. “The accuracy of our optical sensor network, combined with an ability to reschedule tracking operations according to commercial priorities, will provide a trusted source of critical space data to commercial and government operators.”
The network developed by EOS and Lockheed Martin, called Optical Space Services (OSSTM), was formed in August 2014. Sensor systems like OSSTM serve as a complement to radar-based systems like the U.S. Air Force’s Space Fence, which will sweep the sky tracking 200,000 objects.
“The strategic collaboration with Lockheed Martin has allowed a critical mass of sensors, data and services to be assembled, enabling OSSTM to deliver the suite of asset protection services requested by customers,” said Dr. Ben Greene, EOS Chief Executive Officer. “This new tracking capacity will provide unique data which is exclusively available to EOS and Lockheed Martin, enabling each organisation to offer both data and services to meet global market needs. Based on current contracts and active negotiations, EOS expects to commence the delivery of data and services by late 2016.”
Sensors, lasers and optic systems will be fused together by software enabling OSSTM to hone-in on, characterise and track human-made objects orbiting the depths of space. That data will then be quickly and accurately delivered to customers allowing them to manoeuvre satellites and prevent collisions. The system can also predict the paths of debris, giving operators advance warning of potential collisions.
About Lockheed Martin
Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that – with the addition of Sikorsky – employs approximately 126,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services.
About Electro Optic Systems
EOS is based in Canberra, Australia and employs 100 staff in two sectors: Space Systems and Defense Systems. The EOS Space Systems sector focuses on both commercial and defense requirements for space information. EOS specializes in obtaining space information based on the use of EOS-developed optical instruments and sensors to detect, track, classify and characterize objects in space. This information is required for both military and commercial space applications, and particularly for managing space assets to avoid collisions in space with space debris.

Lockheed Martin Conducts Collaborative Unmanned Systems Demonstration
Unmanned K-MAX helicopter, Stalker XE small unmanned aircraft system (UAS), and UAS Traffic Management (UTM) systems work together to extinguish fire
ROME, N.Y., Dec. 2, 2015 – Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) demonstrated its ability to integrate unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operations into the National Airspace System (NAS) using its prototype UAS Traffic Management (UTM) capabilities. During the demonstration on Nov. 18, the Stalker XE UAS provided data and a precise geolocation to the unmanned K-MAX cargo helicopter, which conducted water drops to extinguish a fire, while the UTM tracked the UAS operations and communicated with Air Traffic Control in real time.
“This demonstration represents the path forward for flying UAS in the NAS using Flight Service-based UTM capabilities to extend the technology and systems that air traffic controllers know and understand,” said Paul Engola, Vice President, Transportation & Financial Solutions. “We were able to successfully modify the existing K-MAX and Stalker XE ground control software to connect to the UTM services and conduct the firefighting mission.”
For more than 80 years, manned aircraft have supported firefighting missions during daylight hours. Because unmanned K-MAX can fly day and night, in all weather, its insertion into firefighting operations offers the potential to triple the amount of time ground firefighters can receive aerial support.
The Stalker XE UAS worked in tandem with K-MAX to identify hot spots and fire intensity with its electro-optical, infrared camera. Its stable, high definition imaging capabilities enable day and night operations. Powered by a ruggedized solid oxide fuel cell, Stalker XE achieves more than eight hours of flight endurance.
With five decades of experience in unmanned systems for air, land and sea, Lockheed Martin’s solutions are engineered to help our military, civil and commercial customers accomplish their most difficult challenges today and in the future.

Australia says new analysis backs search area for Flight 370
http://bigstory.ap.org/322e080bbc3f482cacb27f08f28eace0&utm_source=android_app&utm_medium=hootsuite&utm_campaign=share
Australian authorities said Thursday that new analysis confirms they've likely been searching in the right place for a missing Malaysian airliner.
Searchers have been combing a 120,000-square-kilometer (46,000-square-mile) part of the Indian Ocean since last year but have yet to turn up any trace of Flight 370. A wing flap was found in July on the other side of the Indian Ocean, washed up on remote Reunion Island.
The new analysis by an agency of the Defence Department confirmed "the highest probability" the final resting place for the plane is within the current search area, the government said in a statement.
