‘Computers do things more precisely and faster than humans … ‘
"Computers do things more precisely and faster than
humans, but we need humans to deal with uncertainty. It's this combination that interests me.“
"People are running around, relying on intuition, and
accidents happen. I want to make that go more
smoothly.“Prof. Mary Cummings
- 1e female US Navy F18 fighter jet pilot, landing on aircraft carriers (1988-1999)- Professor Aeronautics & Astronautics at MIT Univ. USA

Public Perception = Overall confusion
• Drone are bad Not true• Drones are only used in the army Not true• Drones are always unmanned
Not true• Drones are dangerous Not true• Drones are uncontrolled projectiles Not true• Drones are not safe Not true• Drones are useless for citizens Not true• Drones are useless for business Not true
Bottom-line:
• The technology maturity opens a lot of opportunities.
• The Drone market is in take-off mode and growing steadily.

Drones could do insect mapping and exterminationFarmers in S- Africa use drones to fly over their large crop fields and
• detect areas where insects are damaging the crops using multi-spectral and thermal imaging
• second drone to follow-up and spray with pesticides
Drones – Agriculture

Drones - LogisticsMatternet Concept : a network of Delivery Drones• Matternet wants to build networks for “micro-transportation” that will
allow unmanned aerial vehicles to ferry all sorts of goods across long distances, especially in places where the roads either suck or are perpetually crammed full of commuters.
• Network of landingstations on the roof of the buildings

Drones – Charity in developing countries
MATTERNET
• In Africa, 85% of roads are unusable in rain season• Need for JIT medical delivery (blood, medicines,…)• Medical Supply Vehicle:
• vertical take-off and landing• Radius 10 km / payload 2kg
• Landing stations: delivery + automatic battery swaps• Cost per mision (2kg/10km) = 24 cents• Testing is done / possitive results
Copyright © 2014 RiskMatrix Resultants
Drones for emergency missions at sea• A drone equipped with three Life preservers
that could be dropped down to rescue drowning victims
• Using heat-sensingcameras to detect the exact location of victims, even in the darkness.
• The drone will charge its batteries at a solar-powered charging station on the ship.

Drones – Security• Two years ago, a Japanese security firm ‘Secom’ has developped a drone that
will track burglars.• Drone has been designed to fly to the scene of a break-in and wait until the
perpetrator tries to leave. Drone will hover and record images• Drone can do license plate recognistion

Roadmap for the integration of civil Remotely-Piloted Aircraft Systems
into the European Aviation System
Final report from the European RPAS Steering Group (June 2013)
Copyright © 2014 RiskMatrix Resultants
04/11/2023
Essential requirements considered for RPAS integration• RPAS should be able to operate in airspace, mixed with a variety of manned
aircrafts under VFR (Visual Flight Rules) or IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) adhering to the requirements of the specific airspace layer in which they are operating.
• RPAS must comply with the Communication, Navigation an Surveillance requirements applicable to the class of airspace in which they operate.
• Three pre-requisites to safeguard the total aviation safety system:• RPAS must be approved by a competent authority according
to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) • RPAS operators must hold a valid RPAS operator certificate• Remote pilots must hold a valid pilot license

Closing Statements• Countries with more relaxed UAV laws are good candidates for
commercialisation and are a proving ground for developed technologies.
• There is a growing use of UAVs in the agricultural sector, surveillance sector and in transport & logistics sector.
• Public concerns of privacy and legal liability are still there. • Expanding utilization of UAVs for both the governmental and
commercial sectors will further drive demand.• Greatest challenge is posed by a “Sense/Detect and Avoid" solution.• Increasing autonomy in flight control systems will result in higher
safety with lower operating costs, however it requires solid contingency plans.
• UAVs will be more efficient and less costly. In other words, more capability at less cost will encourage more market growth !
