3 UAS are Problem statement Affecting current aviation traffic Creating new traffic Interacting with population at a larger scale than current aviation A dedicated UAS ATM Operational Concept is required to Create a common understanding how UAS integration could work Pave the way to future procedures and regulations Guarantee that the current airspace users will be impacted only if absolutely necessary

5 Simple recipe: BASIC ingredients ATM/CNS& ATM Operational Concept

6 UAS operational Concept Global European VISION (WHAT) DOC 9854 = GATMOC UAS ATM operational Concept HOW Several CONOPS docs (e.g. TBO) Several CONOPS docs (CORUS)

7 EUROCONTROL UAS Operational Concept Is flexible: it is independent from continuously evolving scenarios Is generic: it addresses any RPAS category or technology Is operationally oriented: it provides an operational ATM perspective based on areas of operations Is opening the door to standardized contingency procedures Is based on the following logic Area of operation Class of traffic Class of airspace Category of RPAS (from EASA CONOPS) 7

8 What is a Class of UAS traffic? As UAS are very difficult to categorise due to the large variety of shapes, sizes, performance and operations; different traffic classes have been developed to support the management of large numbers of UAS operations. A Class of UAS traffic is a set of flying rules, operational procedures and system capabilities applicable to -the UAS -to the UAS operator when operating the UAS in a portion of the airspace. - to the Services applicable in that airspace

9 UAS Very Low Level operations 4 UAS Classes of traffic As UAS are very difficult to categorise due to the large variety of shapes, sizes and performance, different traffic classes have been developed to support the management of large numbers of UAS operations. Class I: VLOS only; (open category) Class II: Free route (VLOS and BVLOS); (Specific/certified) Class III: fixed routes (BVLOS); (Specific/certified) Class IV: Special operations (this category of UAS traffic conducts very specific types of operation that will be assessed on a case by case basis. (VLOS and BVLOS).

10 CNS Services supporting UAS traffic Services are external to the operator and they are the backbone of the UAS ATM system: - Such services are not unique, but they are interoperable and interdependent; - CNS services may be separated in C, N and S services; - The C service is providing C2 Link service and may contribute to N and S service; - The S service is creating the air situation picture of all the tracked UAS;

11 Areas of operations as used

12 WHY? Airspace assessment Determine where they can and cannot fly Determine where they are able to fly Determine CNS infrastructure requirements

13 Flight rules VLOS & BVLOS are not flight rules Are not in SERA Not in ANNEX 2 detectability Accommodation

14 Barometric GPS Mark1 eyeball Altitude reference

15 UAS VERY LOW LEVEL OPERATIONS ASSUMPTIONS The rules of the air have to be adapted for low level UAS operations at this altitude, thereby maintaining the 500ft boundary as implemented around the world already. A dedicated supporting UAS low level ATM management system is required. Relying on the mobile phone network to reduce the implementation costs is an option. A C2 service is provided; Detect and avoid and self separation capability is implemented; The State has executed an airspace assessment, defining where UAS can operate and where not. Geo-fencing is in place; UAS have tracking capability.
