DROSERA© is a software for drone mission planning. It allows computation of indexes related to risks induced to people and transportation networks. It facilitates the evaluation of ground risks in the SORA process.
DROSERA© has been developed in the context of a research-industry partenership with ALTAMETRIS (SNF RESEAU) and RTE. It has been designed to fulfill operational requirements of drone operators and manufacturers.  

DROSERA© has benefited from an open approach, accounting for exchanges with participants to the Working Group "Facilitation des opérations de grande élongation" led by the French Civil Aviation Safety Directorate (DGAC/DSAC).

DROSERA© software is distributed under an ONERA proprietary license.

News ! 
12/07/24: New release of DROSERA©. This new version (v3.3) includes additional features such as risk analysis on the adjacent area, identification of segments of railways or power lines inside the ground risk footprint, update of the critical area computation model (compatibility with SORA 2.5).
15/03/24: First commercial release of DROSERA©.

Risk indexes

- Population densities and risk classes, maximum values and distribution over the ground footprint and the adjacent area
- Identification of overflown segments of roads, railways and power lines
- Automatic generation of a summary sheet with risk assessment results
- Maps for risk localization and visualization

Uses for SORA (SORA 2.0 and 2.5)

- Accounting for flight volumes (Flight Geography, Contingency Volume, Ground Risk Buffer) and the Adjacent Area
- Identification of people densities over the ground risk footprint of the drone mission, identification of average people density over the Adjacent Area
- Computation of the collision surface (Critical Area)
- Evaluation of the initial Ground Risk Class (iGRC)
