Europe: a rich legacy… European Defence Agency (EDA)

• Air4All in 2008 and 2009 � initial ideas for a roadmap

• MIDCAS, SIGAT, DESIRE (EDA/ESA)…etc

European Commission

• RPAS workshops in 2013� European RPAS roadmap & EC communication in 2014 and Declaration in 2015.

SESAR JU

• Strong industry involvement in the RPAS Def. Phase

• Good identification of the required R&D activities

European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)

• Launch of EASA rulemaking activity:

• A-NPA, Technical opinion, New basic regulation in process

ICAO

• Establishment of the ICAO UAS Study Group, later RPAS panel

• RPAS included in the Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP)

A rich legacy… but action is needed

• All categories

• Civil or State (including Mil.)

Addressing all types of

Unmanned Aircraft

• Regulatory actions

• R&D efforts

• Standardisation initiatives

Ensuring synchronisation

• Programmes

• Regulations

• Testing

keep the EU’s

initiative

PART II

ASD’S IDEAS FOR EUROCAE

ASD RECOMMENDATIONS IN SUPPORT OF A

EFFICIENT, RISK BASED APPROACH: (1)

WG73 and WG93 merger1

• Merge WG73 and WG93 in preparation of the 150Kg threshold deletion in the EASA Basic Regulation

Work Packages approach2

• Delete all subgroups to move towards tasks-oriented processes for more efficiency

Steering needed3

• Tasks should be identified and coordinated by a group composed of some key stakeholders: EASA, SJU, EDA, ASD…etc.

ASD RECOMMENDATIONS IN SUPPORT OF A

EFFICIENT, RISK BASED APPROACH: (2)

ASD’s support to EUROCAE4

• ASD is committed to support EUROCAE and has organised an internal Network of Experts to ensure industry coordination

Duplication Avoidance 5

• Increased coordination with RTCA is a must, and harmonisation efforts between EDA and EUROCAE are to be further developed

Stakeholders’ buy-in6

• ASD to become a key coordinator between industry elements and EUROCAE, to foster buy-in and sufficient resources.
