  1. EASA Workshop on UAS February 1, 2008 Unmanned Aircraft SystemsEUROCONTROL ATM Integration Holger Matthiesen Senior Specialist - Air Traffic Management, EUROCONTROL UAS ATM Integration Activity

  2. EUROCONTROL “The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation” Mission: To harmonise and integrate Air Navigation Services in Europe, aiming at the creation of a uniform Air Traffic Management Systemfor civil and military users, in order to achieve the safe, orderly, expeditious and economicflow of traffic throughout Europe. (Article 1 of the EUROCONTROL Revised Convention)

  3. ATM Considerations - Integration of UAS • Safety • Security • Environment • Airspace Capacity • Flight Efficiencies • Airspace Access • All airspace users

  4. Role of EUROCONTROL Ensure ATM meets requirements of all legitimate airspace users • “legitimate”: certification, equipment carriage, + operational approval • “certification”: for UAS, in non-segregated airspace, the missing element

  5. Detect, Sense and Avoid SESAR - UAS to be fully considered Improved Air-Ground Communications Links EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre – UAS R+D Autonomous Flight ICAO ATM Operational Concept (2025) - UAS ATM will evolve – UAS as Drivers for Change UAS Systems can improve ATM for all airspace users Future ATM Concepts

  6. UAS ATM Integration UAS as legitimate airspace users Civil and Military UAS Non-Segregated Airspace Optimum use of the airspace Further segregation not an option

  7. ATM Requirements for UAS as OAT • Published December 2007: “EUROCONTROL Specifications for the use of Military UAVs as Operational Air Traffic (OAT)” • OAT: “Military ATM Regulatory Framework” – National Authorities – (non-ICAO) • Harmonised OAT Regulatory Framework for UAS – High Level Description • Principle of OAT “ATM transparency” • The pursuit of transparency through certification……

  8. ATM Requirements for UAS as GAT • ANT: EUROCONTROL “Airspace and Navigation Team” • GAT: “General Air Traffic” – Civil Aircraft and [Military] – ICAO • Requirement: UAS as GAT shall perform at least as well as manned aircraft • Principle of GAT “ATM transparency” • The pursuit of ATM transparency through certification……

  9. Addressing UAS Certification EUROCAE WG 73 NATO FINAS Liaisons EASA ICAO UAS Study Group

  10. Broad Agency Cross-Domain Initiative Civil and Military Pragmatic ATM Perspective “2-Stream” parallel Approach Medium-long term ATM integration Short-term UAS Airspace Accessibility ATM Requirements Driven EUROCONTROL UAS ATM Integration Activity (1/4) Activity Structure “2-Stream” Approach

  11. Existing ATM Regulatory Framework Establish ATM Requirements on UAS Performance UAS ATM Safety Requirements Build UAS Certification Specifications Compile and Assess UAS ATM Shortcomings ATM Requirements (Airspace, CNS, Sense and Avoid) EUROCONTROL UAS ATM Integration Activity (2/4) Stream 1 - Strategy Stream 1 - Process

  12. Develop ATM mitigation to shortcomings Validate mitigation strategies UAS ATM Integration CONOPS (Proof of Concept) No mitigation? – New ATM requirements on certification With EASA - UAS (Restricted) Type Certification Stepped/Phased UAS ATM Integration Approach With EASA - UAS Permits to Fly EUROCONTROL UAS ATM Integration Activity (3/4) Stream 1 – Process, cont’d Stream 1 - Outcome

  13. Integrate UAS into SESAR Development and Deployment Direct support to SESAR UAS Technology Requirements SESAR Target ATM Concept - manned and unmanned SESAR UAS Integration Baseline from Stream 1 Foundation for UAS market “level playing field” UAS technologies facilitating SESAR technologies Global inter-operability EUROCONTROL UAS ATM Integration Activity (4/4) Stream 2 - SESAR Stream 2 - Strategy

  14. UAS ATM Integration Activity Stream 1 and Stream 2 in parallel EUROCAE WG-73 (UAS) ICAO UAS Study Group Build UAS “Proof of Concept” EUROCONTROL UAS “Next Steps” (1/3)

  15. Promote EUROCONTROL OAT Specs EUROCONTROL/FAA MoC Action Plan 24 SESAR Spectrum, Spectrum, Spectrum….. EUROCONTROL UAS “Next Steps” (2/3)

  16. UAS Required Levels of ATM Safety Human Factors Studies ATC UAS Real-Time Simulations Support to National Civil UAS Applications – “First Steps” EUROCONTROL UAS “Next Steps” (3/3)

  17. EASA Alignment with EUROCAE/RTCA Certification Specifications - < 150 kg. Support Requirements of ATM UAS Safety Case 1309 – “Tailoring” of safety requirements – relation to ATM EASA Guidance/Support (1/2)

  18. Civil – Military Certification – (Convergence) UAS Command and Control Certification Support to ICAO UAS Study Group UAS “Flight Crew” Licensing EASA Guidance/Support (2/2)
