Unmanned Aviation Association The year 2020 is a year that will be remembered for a long time to come for the Welcome Note world population due to the Corona pandemic with its terrible consequences for health and life, but also for the economy and lifestyle. For the drone economy be- cause of the intended start of the unmanned operations in all EU member states based on uniform rules. However, the start date had to be postponed from July 2020 to the beginning of 2021. The corona pandemic is to blame for this, and this is where the wheel comes full circle. We are satisfied with the risk-based approach for drone operations: - at low risk without prior operational authorisation (open category) - in the case of medium risk with an operational authorisation based on SORA and adequate mitigating measures (specific category), but without the need for a complex certifying process - finally, at high risk, with the certification of the UAS and of the UAS operator and the licensing of the remote pilot (certified category). UAV DACH is committed to a cooperative integration of UAS into airspace and a high level of operational safety. We will pay close attention to this in the imple- mentation of European rules in the Member States. On the other hand, we will ensure that the legislature introduces proportionate regulations and does not ex- tend the requirements of the certified category to the low and medium risk areas through the back door. At the EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM 2020 we want to inform the UAS community and discuss about the next level UAS operations. I therefore cordially welcome you to an exciting program.

For a long time a new founder generation has been developing creative business ideas within the framework of UAV DACH with incalculable benefits in the everyday life of all people, with new jobs and economic value creation. Fraunhofer FKIE is paving the way for new “utility drones” through innovative research in many fields. One strategic challenge is their safe integration into the airspace – buzzword: Future Drone Identification System (FDIS). This infrastruc- ture for safe and reliable UAS traffic also leads to new research questions and product ideas which are being developed in the triangle of UAV DACH, Fraun- hofer FKIE and industry. In particular, drone defence is becoming an “enabling technology” for socially accepted, legally regulated and economically viable drone deployment. However, protection against harmful drones must not impede the use of commer- cial drones. In the interest of the common good, public safety and opportunities through new mobility must be harmonized. 7 We create efficient and sustainable drone solutions to improve and save lives.

The event is a face-to-face style conference, held under DJI Germany covid-19-regulations, and is available via video conference for those who prefer to join us online. 1) Political statements and discussion - Plan of action for UAS 2) UAS operations Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) (European legislation, responsibilities of applicant and authorities involved, cross-border flight operations, qualification of pilots, experience reports and lessons learned) 3) Flight operations in urban air space (UAM) (Legal framework, flying over populated areas, European and International concepts of U-space, UAS operations in “Drones have continuously U-space airspace, air traffic service providers, common information service) gained in importance and will 4) Sensor data for detection and identification (Threat have a considerable influence assessment for Europe, legal framework, multiple sensor on many areas of aviation counter-UAS, sensor fusion) in the coming years. The European Drone Forum offers a very good opportunity to gather information on this subject” Max Scheck Vereinigung Cockpit 9 EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM Programme PROGRAMME 10:00 - 10:10 10:00 – 10:10 13:30 - 14:30 LUNCH BREAK13:30 – 14:30 LUNCH BREAK BEGIN ON-SITE and VIDEO CONFERENCE SESSION BEGIN ON-SITE and VIDEO CONFERENCE SESSION 14:30 – 16:00 WELCOME Achim Friedl, Chairman14:30 UAV - 16:00 DACH WELCOME Achim Friedl, Chairman UAV DACH TOPIC 2 FLIGHT OPERATIONS IN URBAN AIR SPACE 10:10 – 10:30 TOPIC 2 FLIGHT OPERATIONS IN URBAN AIR SPACE Sabrina John / Franziska Biermann, Project Medifly Sabrina John / Franziska Biermann, Project Medifly 10:10 - 10:30 Filippo Tomasello, UCI Drone Italy VIDEO MESSAGE UAS AND INNOVATIVE AERIAL CONCEPTS Filippo Tomasello, UCI DroneD rItaly.
