Abstract
The origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays is still an open question, requiring next-generation
observationtechnology. TheCRAFFTprojectisdevelopinganext-generationfluorescencedetec-
tor designed for low-cost and fully automated observations with a simple structure. In this study,
we report the successful detection of ultra-high-energy cosmic ray air showers using a prototype
telescope and ongoing tests for full automation. This presentation provides an overview of the
CRAFFT project, highlighting hardware development for autonomous observation, testing of the
self-operating system, andnetworktestingfordata collection.
