DLR is the national aeronautics and space research center of the Federal Republic of Germany. Its extensive research and development work in aeronautics, space, energy, transport, and security is integrated into national and international cooperative ventures. The Satellite Networks Department of DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation is the home of DLR research & development work in the area of satellite communications. For many years, we have played a leading role worldwide in the conception and investigation of novel system concepts, transmission techniques, protocols & algorithms for satellite communications.
What is your organization’s role in the project? What unique contribution does it bring to the team?
DLR is leading Task 3.1 (3D multilayered NTN architecture) and contributing to Task 4.1 (Flexible waveform design and validation) and Task 6.3 (Standardisation and pre-standardisation). Moreover, Dr. Sandro Scalise acts as Project Innovation Manager.
With its unique role and expertise in bridging the gap between academic research and industrial pre-development, DLR’s participation in the project ensures that innovative ideas are brought to a higher TRL, making them ready for transfer to industry.
Why is this project important for your organization?
The 6G-NTN project has a key strategic role for the DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation since it addresses the initial sizing of a satellite constellation specifically designed and optimized for NTN. Moreover, it will pave the way for NTN-related contributions to 6G standardization.
