Remotely Piloted Aircraft SystemsVision for the Future
Randy WillisCo-Chair CANSO RPAS/ET Working Group
Growth of an Industry
• Understanding the evolution!
• What does it mean?
• How are States dealing with this growth?
• What is next?
• How is CANSO helping?
RPAS vs UAS
• RPAS: An RPAS is a fully certified aviation product
• All RPAS are UAS; only a few UAS are RPAS
What Does it Mean?
• Opportunity!– Multi-Billion Dollar/EURO worldwide market
– Technology innovation
• Education!– Educating our new aviators
– Educating our ANSP’s
• Challenges!– Airspace access
– Legacy ATM
Assess
Integrate
Evolve
How are States dealing with this growth?
• Some are embracing
– Enacting regulation/policy
– Executing research to understand gaps
– Educating the public
– Enabling live testing
• Some are struggling
– Just saying no at this time
– Assessing the problem set
What is next?
• Expect everything!
How is CANSO helping?
• CANSO is Leading– Member ICAO RPAS Panel
• Leading discussions on standardized RPAS Lost Link Procedures
• Advocating secondary surveillance beacon code 7400 for RPAS Lost Link
– Co-Chair ICAO Small UAS Advisory Group• Produced web accessible material for all to use
– State regulations
– Educational flyers
• Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems and Emerging Technologies Working Group
RPAS & ET Working Group Overview
• Name Change• Formerly – Collaborative Airspace Working Group• Now – Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems and Emerging Technologies
Working Group
• Objectives• Safe integration of remotely piloted aircraft systems into current and
evolving ATM systems• Addressing insertion of emerging technologies into underutilized
airspace• Key factors –
• Ensuring safety• Maintaining efficiency• Work closely with RPAS stakeholders on integration issues
RPAS & ET Working Group Overview
• Current activities– Assessing airspace structure and operations above FL600
• Assessment to identify gaps and baseline the need/requirements • Harmonization
– Creating ANSP Considerations for Small UAS Operations document• Operational approvals• Unmanned Traffic Management Concept• Checklists
– Updating CANSO ANSP Considerations for RPAS Operationsdocument
RPAS & ET Working Group Overview
• Recently completed work
– Produced a training module to provide ANSPs with a high-level overview of RPAS operations from an ANSP perspective
• Includes information on the operation of RPAS, unique terminology, contingency operations, and much more
RPAS & ET Working Group Overview
• Recently completed work (continued)– Allows ANSPs to tailor the discussion based on the
airspace in which service provision is being conducted and provides ANSPs with a starting point for creating future training syllabi
