Cluster Lucano Aerospazio (CLAS)
Description
CLAS ETS (Basilicata Aerospace) was founded on 31 March 2005, is a non -profit association, recognized in agreement with the art. 14 of the Italian Civil Code. The publication, in September of the same year, of the Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) of Basilicata Region, which also identifies the Aerospace sector among the others, as the area of smart specialization which the actions and interventions covered by the FESR 2014-2020 Basilicata (Programma Operativo Regionale), was the referred, is the final accomplishment of the path begun months earlier.
Basilicata Aerospace has a well know and remarkable tradition linked to Space sector and represents as an excellence for activities focused on development technologies for the Earth Observation (EO) and natural hazards monitoring.
Twenty-two associates, engaged in activities related to all phases of Earth Observation, from the acquisition to the dissemination of data detected by satellite sensors, up to the supply of processed products and services in near-real time. And it is also thanks to the establishment of CLAS that the experiences of associated companies that produce piston engines for aeronautical use begin to converge, an excellence for Italy, drones and sensors for the industrial and professional market.
The companies in the sector have about 900 employees, including related industries.
Space highlights
The SMEs of CLAS currently work to enhance their skills and improve their presence in the market for advanced services and products in the following areas:
– EO (Earth Observation) through the prototyping of systems and algorithms for the exploitation of satellite data order to provide services, also in an integrated way with the Matera space geodesy center, with particular attention to the management, control and exploitation of constellations of micro satellites and data acquired;
– Internet of Things (IOT) integration of Remote Sensing data and in situ data in order to provide near/real time and monitoring services. Particular attention will be paid to edge computing techniques by exploiting the peculiarities of 5G and preparing for the future 6G format;
– AI models applied with to satellite data analysis techniques and methodologies integrated with proximity sensing data for the development of hardware and software systems with specific capabilities (interaction with the environment, learning and adaptation, reasoning, and planning);
– MONITORING AND DATA ANALYSIS Real time systems monitoring and data analysis for preventive and predictive purpose;
– Digital TWIN (DT): Highly complex virtual model, which is the exact replica of its physical counterpart. Used for the digital construction of infrastructures and related SW simulation for transport infrastructure analysis (bridges and viaducts);
– High Performance Computing (HPC)
Parallel processing techniques to solve complex computational problems, high-performance calculations for large amounts of data or complex simulation models in order to provide near/real time services;
– AERONAUTICS Production of drones, airborne sensors and production of piston engines for aeronautical use, ASA certified, for design and certification.
