I-Airbus kunye noGunyaziwe woLuntu woLwandle lwaseSingapore basayina iMOU

I-Airbus kunye ne-Civil Aviation Authority yase-Singapore (i-CAAS) batyikitye iMemorandam yokuQondana (MOU) ukwenza ukuba ukuhamba komoya wedolophu (i-UAM) eSingapore.

I-MOU isayinwe namhlanje kwi-Singapore Airshow 2020 phakathi kukaJean-Brice Dumont, uSekela Mongameli oLawulayo, iinjineli, iAirbus kunye noKevin Shum, uMlawuli-Jikelele Igunya loLwazi loPhuhliso lwaseSingapore.

Intsebenziswano ijolise ekuziseni iinkonzo ze-UAM kunye namaqonga kwinyani kwimeko yaseSingapore edolophini, ngenjongo yokuqaqambisa imveliso kunye nokuphucula unxibelelwano lwengingqi. Njengenxalenye yesivumelwano: 

• Airbus kwaye i-CAAS iya kusebenzisana ekuchazeni nasekuphuhliseni inkonzo yokuqala ye-UAM ngeNkqubo yeeNqwelo-moya ezingaqhutywayo (UAS). Amaqela aya kusebenzisana ngokukodwa ukuze aqonde inkqubo yoLawulo lweZithuthi ezingaLawulwanga (UTM) kunye neenkonzo zokuxhasa imeko yokuqala yokusetyenziswa.

• Kuloo misebenzi ye-UAM, omabini amaqela aya kusebenzisana ekukhuthazeni ukwamkelwa koluntu, ukuphuhlisa imigangatho, kunye nokuseka izikhokelo zokhuseleko eziyimfuneko.

• Ekugqibeleni, i-Airbus kunye ne-CAAS ziya kufunda ukuba nokwenzeka kunye neemfuno zeenkonzo eziqhubekayo ze-UAM ezibandakanya imithwalo ehamba phambili kunye nezisombululo zothutho lwabakhweli.

Le MOU iqhubela phambili ubudlelwane obude phakathi kwe-Airbus neCAAS. Intsebenziswano yangaphambili yaqala ukusekwa kwi-2016 yovavanyo lwe-UAS lokuvavanya ubungqina ("i-Skyways"). I-Airbus kunye ne-CAAS emva koko batyikitya isivumelwano ne-Arhente yoKhuseleko lwezoPhapho yaseYurophu ukuba babelane kwaye baqhubele phambili ukuphuculwa kwemigangatho yokusebenza neyokhuseleko ye-UAS kwiindawo ezisezidolophini.

I-Skyways iqale njengeprojekthi yokulinga ejolise ekuphuhliseni iinkqubo ezikhuselekileyo zokuhambisa umoya ukuze zisetyenziswe kwiindawo ezixineneyo zasezidolophini. Izilingo zobungqina beengcinga ze-Skyways zigqitywe ngempumelelo kwi-2019 ngokuhanjiswa kweepasile kwikhampasi yeDyunivesithi yeSizwe yaseSingapore, kunye nokuhanjiswa kwezinto eziprintwe nge-3D kunye nezinto ezisetyenziswayo kwiinqanawa ezinamathele kwi-Anchorage eSingapore.

Ukuqhubela phambili, i-Skyways UAS iya kusetyenziswa njengelebhu yovavanyo lokubhabha ukuqhubeka nokuvavanya itekhnoloji kunye neekhonsepthi, kugxilwe ekuqaleni kunxibelelwano kunye nokuhamba, ezizinto ezibalulekileyo ze-UTM. I-UTM sisiseko esiphambili sombono weAirbus wokuhamba kwedolophu, kwaye ivula indlela yezisombululo zolawulo lwendlela yedijithali. Iya kuba yinto ebalulekileyo ukuvumela iinqwelomoya ezintsha, ezinjengeeteksi zomoya kunye ne-UAS, ukuba zingene kwaye zabelane ngesibhakabhaka ngokukhuselekileyo. 

“I-CAAS ixhasa uphuhliso oluluncedo lwe-UAM. Ingena kumbono wethu weSizwe esiSmart, apho sijolise ekusebenziseni ngokupheleleyo iteknoloji ukusombulula iingxaki, ukulungisa imiceli mngeni, kunye nokuphuhlisa iSingapore ibe yenye yezona zixeko zibalaseleyo emhlabeni ukuba sihlale kuzo. Kungenxa yoko le nto sifuna ukusebenzisana namashishini. Ukutyhala imida yezicelo zabo. Obu budlelwane, kubandakanya nentsebenziswano yethu ende yeCAAS-Airbus, yakha ubuchule kunye nobungcali baseSingapore ukwenza ukuba izicelo ze-UA ziqhubele phambili, ngakumbi kwindawo yethu yasezidolophini, ”utshilo uShum.

UDumont wathi kulo msitho: “I-Airbus isoloko ifuna iindlela zokuqhuba imida emitsha ngokuhamba komoya. Siyavuya ukuthatha inyathelo elilandelayo neqabane lethu ekudala likho, i-CAAS, sinombono ekwabelwana ngawo wokuphucula ukuhamba komoya edolophini kunye neenkqubo ze-UTM kunye neenkonzo zokuzisa isisombululo esikhuselekileyo nesothembekileyo ebantwini. ”
