Perspectives on UAS Integration

Presented to: ICAO Asia-Pacific Unmanned Aircraft Systems Task Force

By: Cortney Robinson, ICCAIA CNS/ATM Committee Director

Date: Monday, 3 April

The International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations - Background

Vision To maximize civil aerospace manufacturing industry’s contribution to a safe, secure, and efficient international air transportation system.

Membership Our global membership consists of aerospace manufacturers and service providers. Of particular interest to this TF, our members design and manufacture UAS/RPAS of all sizes along with the infrastructure they require to be aligned with our vision.

ICAO Engagement ICAO recognizes ICCAIA as an International Organization and ICCAIA has Members and Advisors contributing to a host of panels, high-level groups and other activities including: RPASP, ATMRPP, ASBU-PPT, CAEP, IHLG, GANP-MVT.

• ICCAIA recognizes that many states are preparing to face challenges with the integration of emerging technologies in the aerospace sector. Some of these technologies include:

• Unmanned Aircraft Systems/Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (UAS/RPAS);

• Supersonic civil transport; and • Global flight tracking.

• Adoption of these technologies will require timely availability of:

• Harmonized safety assessment methods; • Harmonized industry standards defining safety, environmental and

performance requirements; and • Industry buy-in and investment in the new technologies (supported by

cost-benefit analyses validated by proof of concept).

• All requirements for emerging technologies should be supported by a robust operational safety assessment and cost-benefit analysis taking all stakeholders into account.

Paving the way for emerging technologies

Section 333

• Case-by-case exemptions granted to existing regulations

• Enables non-recreational UAS operations before final part 107 rulemaking

• Safety achieved with operating conditions and limitations

• Regulatory framework for small UAS operations • Safety achieved through VLOS and operating

limitations

• Expand part 107 to incorporate standards for flight over non-participating people

• Enables Pathfinder 1 operations

• Expand part 107 to facilitate low altitude operations through Airworthiness certification

• Enables Pathfinder 2 and 3 operations

• Interaction with ATC • Safety achieved via compliance to conventional

aircraft operating principles

Existing Regulatory Frameworks in APAC Region

A Model from Japan Civil Aeronautics Act of JAPAN defines “Unmanned Aircraft” as the size over 0.2kg weight and below aircraft which can be boarded by person. It has 3 categories: above 0.2kg , above 25kg and above 150kg in Unmanned Aircraft.

Government-industry collaboration: The public and private conference on the environmental improvement for UAVs in JAPAN

• “The public and private conference on the environmental improvement for UAVs” has been established following prime minister’s remark in 2nd “Public and Private Dialogue for future investment” .

• In this conference, we are considering specific modality of the institution for more safety securing of UAVs and improvement of environment to promote application and technological development of UAVs aiming for “Industrial Revolution in the Sky”.
