Ramazan Yeniceri, a researcher at Istanbul Technical University's Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, has been a researcher in an ambitious research project that focuses on one of the most critical challenges that will shape the future of aviation in his scientific career. In the project titled "Future of All Aviation CNS Technology (FACT)", he had the opportunity to deepen his researcher identity by taking responsibility in the development of a new generation CNS (Communication, Navigation, Surveillance) infrastructure so that traditional aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can share the same airspace safely, efficiently and resiliently.

Within the scope of the project, a performance-based and updated CNS architecture was designed to meet the needs of both existing air traffic systems and future fully automated U-space services. Yeniceri took an active role in all stages of this complex system, from needs analysis to technology scanning, from system design to prototype integration. In particular, he worked on the adaptation of advanced communication technologies such as 5G to the aviation infrastructure, ensuring that the system had a future-oriented and flexible structure.

"In the skies of the future, passenger planes, cargo drones and air taxis will fly together. Designing an intelligent infrastructure to handle this complex traffic took my scientific curiosity and systemic problem-solving skills to the next level. Creating an integrated solution by bringing together different technologies and standards has strengthened my researcher identity on theoretical and practical grounds. The education I received at ITU was the basis for me to develop a solution to this multi-layered engineering problem with a holistic approach." says Yeniceri.

Ramazan Yeniceri and his team, who led the project, not only developed a theoretical architecture, but also tested the prototype they developed with a real-time demonstration, proving the performance and reliability of the system. The results obtained not only resonated in academic circles but also paved the way for the formation of new collaborations and sub-industries between the aviation and communication sectors.

While ITU offers a tool that will shape the big picture by designing the airspace of the future today, it also gives our researchers such as Ramazan Yeniceri the opportunity to take firm steps forward in the scientific world and contribute to the country's technological goals. This experience of Yeniceri is the product of an environment where our students gain not only knowledge but also a culture of scientific production and innovation.
