MyDefence Joins Germany’s Mission to Shape the Future of Safe Drone Traffic in Hamburg 

We have joined Germany’s mission to shape the future of safe and efficient drone traffic management in Hamburg through our involvement in BLU-Space, the pioneering Blueprint U-Space project. This initiative is the most complex of its kind in Germany, setting the stage for safe, automated, and efficient drone traffic management in complex urban environments. 

As innovations in electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) continue to redefine airspace use across Europe, BLU-Space is leading the way in ensuring these advancements are integrated safely and seamlessly. By testing under real-world conditions, the project is creating a blueprint that will serve as a model for drone operations in urban, controlled airspace meeting the highest safety and efficiency standards.

Our Role at MyDefence

At MyDefence, we are contributing to this transformation with our advanced drone tracking sensor technology, helping to ensure the secure and effective integration of unmanned aircraft into controlled airspace. With input from industry leaders, government authorities, and technology experts, BLU-Space is bringing together the best minds in aviation to shape the future of UAS operations. 

Right now, in Hamburg’s dynamic airspace, BLU-Space brings together air traffic data from various sources and platforms under real conditions for the first time. Every step of the system’s development is supported by field tests and practical evaluations, refining how airspace coordination will work in practice. The project is also establishing clear operational guidelines for authorities like law enforcement and air traffic control, paving the way for structured U-Space airspace designations across Germany and beyond. 

“The BLU-Space project is a pivotal step toward integrating drones safely and efficiently into our airspace. As U-Space and UTM systems evolve, advanced sensor technologies will be crucial for airspace awareness and coordination. At MyDefence, we are bringing our expertise in drone tracking to support secure and well-managed unmanned aircraft operations in complex environments such as the Hamburg Harbour area.”
