WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS?
Unifying
The
International
UAV
Community
Emerging market
Products not fully mature
Most military UAV systems are still “user specific”
Insufficient safety & reliability
High development costs + low volume production ->
High acquisition cost
Operational costs still too high -> High ownership cost
Insufficient R&D funding
Few UAV system integrators have aeronautical experience
No airworthiness norms
No ATM regulations
Sense & Avoid : the critical issue
Flight in non-segregated airspace is impossible
Uncoordinated individual national initiatives
Up to now no international consensus on how toproceed
March 9, 2006
Result: Civil/commercial market cannot develop

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ?
Unifying

International
UAV
Community
?
?
?
?
?
?
Airworthiness norms for UAVs are to be defined
Standards - Sense & Avoid (operational requirements) to be defined
Definition of ATM regulations is to be initiated
INDUSTRY SHOULD BE THE DYNAMO
National approaches in co -operation with CAAs & military
Efforts to be co-ordinated on an European scale in co -operation with
NATO, EDA, Eurocontrol, JAA, EASA, DG TREN, national CAAs
? Approaches on both sides of the Atlantic should be co-ordinated :
- industry: Access 5, ASTM, CANSO, EUROCAE, RTCA, UVS Canada, UVSI
- authorities: EASA, Eurocontrol, JAA, NATO, FAA, ICAO
? Efforts to be coordinated internationally (beyond Europe & N. America)
- Australia, Japan, S.Africa, Singapore (civil/com flight experience)
? International approaches should be harmonized at the earliest stage
A common terminology in English should defined

EUROCAE is the European aeronautical standards organisation.
EUROCAE has an existing co-operative agreement with with RTCA.
Feb 2005
EUROCAE becomes a member of UVS International;
UVS International becomes a member of EUROCAE
Aug 2005
EUROCAE & UVSI meet with RTCA SC203 and agree
on co-ordination & harmonisation of WG outputs
Jan 2006
- EUROCAE Council agrees on the creation of WG-73
- EUROCAE announces WG-73 on UAV systems
- EUROCAE & UVSI send out Calls for Participation

Objectives
Take an inventory of work already done & ongoing internationally
Initiate Sub-Groups to deal, amongst others, with:
- Terms & Definitions
- Civil USAR (fixed wing)
- Sense & Avoid
- Civil USAR (rotary wing)
- Command & Control
Preparation of non-solicited proposal to EASA re civil UAV system
