EDA’S REINFORCED MISSIONIn May 2017, after EDA’s LONG TERM REVIEW, Defence ministers agreed to reinforce the Agency’s role and mission

as the main instrument for intergovernmental capability planning & prioritisationin Europe

as the prime forum and coordinator for the whole lifecycle of capability development

as Member States’ central interface & gateway towards EU institutions & stakeholders

European MALE RPASOps by 2025

R&D (ATI) Synergies RPAS ATI /SES / ATM

Integration in non-segregated Airspace (IFR A to C) by 2025 - accommodation Phase (2020 - 2025)

Develop 4 capability domains, AAR, Gov SATCOM, Cyber, RPAS, with the support of EDA

EDA ACTIVITY: 5 interlinked work strands

Presentation Notes

FIRST EUROPEAN COUNCIL meeting after LISBON TREATY incorporated Common Security and Defence policy and created the European External Action Service with discussion on security and defence: focus on capabilities and strong European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB) 4-year training technology demonstrator that aims to link nine European MALE RPAS training schools with a generic PC. The system will allow direct communications between different sites and enable exercises between them. 7 MS group either have MALE RPAS capability or intend to get it within a 5-10 year period. It is based on a Lol Large Mil RPAS signed in 2014 AW: RPAS AW regulatory framework = development of a harmonised set of airworthiness requirements adapted to RPAS. Harmonisation Framework Alignment with civil roadmap. Research & Technology MID-Air Collision Avoidance System (MIDCAS) Enhanced RPAS Automation (ERA) Command, Control and Communications (C3) – DESIRE 2 Remote Pilot Stations Standardisation TRAWA: Remain Well Clear (2016-2018)

RPAS Accommodation

• Guidelines for the accommodation of military IFR RPAS in airpaceclas A –C• Harmonisation accommodation procedures• Lessons learned from existing operations• Operational safety assessment

• Accommodation study• Operational scenario – specific concept of cross border operations• Detailed safety assessment

RPAS Integration• Support the development and standardisation of key technical enablers

• Military relevance – support MALE-type RPAS integration• Not developed elsewhere – coordination with other organisations such as

SJU• Identification of technical areas Industry Exchange Platform: Detect

and Avoid, Command and Control datalinks and Autonomy• Technology development: R&D and standardization activities

• Remote Pilot Stations• Command and Control datalinks• Detect and Avoid• RPAS Automation• (upcoming) Autonomy
