RPAS Integration. State-of-the-art

Gaps for the integration of civil RPAS into the European aviation system3 have been

• identified. They are related to:

EC 1: Development of a methodology for the justification and validation of RPAS safety objective. EC 2: Secure command & control / data links / bandwidth allocation. EC 3: Insertion of RPAS into the air traffic management system, detect & avoid (air and ground) and situational awareness (including for small RPAS), weather awareness. EC 4: Security issues attached to the use of RPAS. EC 5: Safe automated monitoring, support to decision making and predictability

Introduction ISIS+ Use case Conclusions & Further work

Research goals Regarding the roadmap To provide an environment that permits the analysis of specific areas/gaps. Towards higher levels of automation To investigate the active interaction of the RPAS pilot and the ATCo through the extensive use of automation and information exchange. Higher automation to provide flexibility and situational awareness rather than become an obstacle to perform a safe
