THREE DAY CONFERENCE

Remotely piloted aircraft are still not yet a feature of everyday life, however the number in use is growing rapidly and the range of operations that they support is increasing. This conference, organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Specialist Group, will provide delegates with essential information on the factors that are supporting the proliferation of civil use as well as providing clear insights into the regulatory and other constraints in place to ensure public safety and privacy.

The capabilities, opportunities and technologies are developing at a rapid pace and will be outlined by various experts from UK, Europe and America In addition speakers from UK Government organisations will present a vision of the support available, the requirements to be adhered to and the way in which regulations are developing.

The conference will begin with a keynote speech from the Director of the Safety and Airspace Regulation Group, UK CAA and will open day two with the views of the Minister for Universities & Science and the Programme Director at Astraea. Papers will be presented on recent achievements, applications for both large and small RPAS, relevant technologies, the developing legal and regulatory framework as well as the critical issue of communications and the activities of supporting industry bodies. The last day is intended to provide a show case for innovative R&D for which papers may still be submitted.

Research Papers for Day Three are welcome on: Innovative UAS Technology Control Theory Decision Support Mission Planning and Management Communications Collision Risk Sensor Data Processing Innovative Manufacturing Navigation Propulsion
