What’s the main problem?

  • Unclear and non-standardized rules of

engagement for combat drones have spoiled the image of RPAS.

  • It is required to make a difference between

combat drones and RPAS for civil use Foster uptake of drone technology

Approach: Gather the community

  • RPAS: Biannual conference where EU, RPAS

industry, national aviation authorities, military, RTD organizations are brought together

  • Objective: Work towards acceptance of RPAS

technology and introduction of RPAS in EU airspace

Combat drones

  • Clear standardized rules (legal framework) need

to be set up for combat drones

  • Drone operators should receive similar training

as regular pilots

The Future for Military Drones

  • Small & Large drones have a bright future in

military

  • The first terrorist armed drone attack is likely

already being planned

How to protect our citizens from this new threat?
