Slide 20/31 Feb 1, 2008 Federating The International WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS? UAS Community

Most military UAS are still “user specific” High development costs + low volume production = High acquisition cost & high ownership cost

No standards No airworthiness norm No certification norms No ATM regulations Involved communities do not speak the same language Critical Issues : Sense & Avoid, Spectrum & Bandwidth Insufficient R&D funding Flight in non-segregated airspace is impossible Uncoordinated individual national & multi-national initiatives Insufficient international consensus on how to proceed

Result : The markets for the following 3 applications cannot emerge: - non-military government - scientific - commercial

Slide 21/31 Feb 1, 2008 Federating The International WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ? UAS Community

 INDUSTRY SHOULD BE THE DYNAMO

 National approaches with co-operation between: - Industry - Gvmt Authorities - Stakeholder Orgs - Academia  National efforts (civil & military) in Europe should be coordinated to form a European approach (European Vision)  Approaches on both sides of the Atlantic to be coordinated  Efforts to be coordinated internationally (beyond Europe & N. America): Australia, China, India, Japan, N.Zealand, Russia, S. Africa, Singapore, UAE  International approaches to be harmonized at earliest possible stage  Standards (functional requirements) to be consensually defined with more implication of national CAAs & ANSPs than is currently the case  A common terminology in English should be defined  ICAO should be implicated
