The CEN Workshop on ‘COURAGEOUS on testing methodology for C-UAS systems’ was kicked off on 4 August 2023. The Workshop’s registered participants have now agreed on the final draft of the CWA.

The goal of this CEN/WS is the development of a CWA which provides a set of design and installation recommendations for the arrangement and installation of propulsion systems, using hydrogen as fuel, on passenger ships. 

The 10th edition of the International Smart Utility Week (ISUW) 2024 was held from March 12th to March 16th, 2024, in New Delhi, India. This year’s conference focused on Smart Energy and Smart Mobility. ISUW 2024 featured an extensive program that included plenary sessions, bilateral workshops, keynote addresses, technical sessions, presentations of technical papers, tutorials, and guided technical tours. Bilateral Smart Grid workshops with the European Union, Germany (GIZ) and the United Kingdom (UK Gov.) were some of the highlights from the agenda.

The standardization activities of CEN and CENELEC for the transport sector on interoperability and safety requirements are well known. But CEN and CENELEC are also very active in another key topic for the transport industry: the environmental impact and circularity of materials used for vehicles and transport infrastructure.

This CEN Workshop intends to develop one CWA (Workshop Agreement): ”Unmanned aircraft systems — Counter UAS — Testing methodology”

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are a vital tool to increase safety and tackle Europe's emission and congestion problems. By applying information and communication technologies to passenger and freight transport modes alike, they can help make the way we move safer, more efficient and more sustainable.
