Overview
What are RPAS Types of operations Perception of RPAS? Civil applications Basic principles for RPAS integration and challenges Future view

What are RPAS
Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) Aircraft Ground station Data link
No pilot in cockpit. Remotely operated. Can be programmed. Capable of operating autonomously with pilot-in-the-loop. Normally recoverable but ultimately expendable
Subset of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)
They are NOT called drones!
RPAS integration, the future is now 4
Types of Operations (instead of weight, e.g. 150 kg, or size categories) Very low level Operations
VLOS E-VLOS B-VLOS
IFR/VFR RLOS
IFR/VFR BRLOS (SATCOM)
=> Distinguished according to IFR / VFR and ICAO airspace classification they fly in

RPAS what is your perception?
RPAS integration, the future is now 6
Public perception?
DRONES Big brother watching/listening Paparazzi Privacy PROBLEM Emotive:
Who’s flying this thing? His life isn’t in danger!
Interaction: Flying to same rules? Predictable response? Collision avoidance?
Visibility. Reaction times. Legality.

BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR INTEGRATION:
AS SAFE AS MANNED AVIATION OR SAFER TRANSPARENT OPERATIONS TOWARDS ATC AND OTHER AIRSPACE USERS SHOULD NOT EXCLUDE OTHER AIRSPACE USERS AIRSPACE ACCESS RPAS WILL HAVE TO FIT INTO ATM SYSTEM

UAS integration in non-SA is a “manned aviation” issue
• Acceptability by manned aviation is a priority
– Aviation stakeholders need to be part of the process
– Pilots, ANSPs, CAAs, ATC controllers
• Standardisation is the most efficient way for acceptability
– Providing a common UAS view and understanding to all airspace users and actors
– Addressing interoperability, performance, safety
Management of UAS collision avoidance and separation is one of the most
challenging issues

HOW RPAS INTEGRATION MIGHT EVOLVE
Evolutionary and incremental process. Usage to increase as confidence in UAS safety
and reliability grows. Near-term commercial requirement for small civil
UAS flying VLOS. Early RLOS flying under IFR in Classes A-C
airspace. Later RLOS in all classes of airspace under IFR
and VFR .

HUMAN FACTORS (not exhaustive)
HF issues shall identify functional requirements for operations of RPAs in non-segregated airspace in order to support safety in the ATM system
They shall consider HSI implications of such functional requirements, i.e. implications for manpower personnel training Human Factors

How to organise the Integration? Policy
– Support to EC
• ATM
– Guidelines, integration, training, etc
• Regulation
– EASA
– JARUS
• R&D
– SJU, EDA, ESA etc (until SESAR2)
• Standardisation
– ICAO UASSG
– EUROCAE WG 73/93
– NATO
• Support to States
– ATM, REG, R&D
MAIN GOAL DRIVE HARMONISATION
