The TUDelft MAVlab is pleased to announce together with the municipalities of Katwijk and Wassenaar, the Central Government Real Estate Agency and the province of South Holland have been working together to revitalize the former Naval Airbase ‘Valkenburg’. This effort has been quite successful, as Unmanned Valley offers a dynamic ecosystem with advanced facilities, including test fields, office spaces, and specialized research equipment. Research organizations, small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, benefit from this innovative environment. To effectively function as a hotspot for innovation, the Campus must continuously update its test facilities. To achieve this, Unmanned Valley has developed the ‘Growing the Grid’ plan. Thanks to the EFRO subsidy, MAVlab TUDelft can carry out two major projects:
- Research on hydrogen as a fuel for drones: Unmanned Valley is exploring hydrogen as a sustainable fuel source, enabling longer flight times and heavier payloads for drones. This project includes establishing a hydrogen refueling station, making Unmanned Valley a pioneer in green UAV technology.
- Development of an acoustic measurement setup: With the growing use of drones, managing noise impact is essential. This project sets up an acoustic testing facility to objectively measure the noise of UAVs.
TUDelft MAVlab is proud to be a part of this European project and continues to innovate on drone research.
