European Commission

1. Kickoff October 2001

2. Since then, UAVNET has convened 13 Workshops throughout

Europe and Israel with lecturers on all issues of Civil UAV (see later

slide for partial list of subjects)

3. UAVNET Workshops, by inviting industry, academics, government

officials, potential users and convening the Workshops in locations

from Vilnius, Lithuania to Capua Italy and from Rochester England to

Budapest Hungary, increased awareness of Civil UAV Benefits

around Europe

4. The UAVNET Website library contains all the lectures which were

presented at the UAVNET Workshop

UAVNET Activities Summary


European Commission

5. UAVNET initiated 3 additional projects – CAPECON, USICO, IFATS

within the EC sphere of research

6. In May 2004, UAVNET decided to prepare the first European Civil

UAV Roadmap which will be ready during the final quarter of 2005

7. UAVNET is now preparing the infrastructure base to support a large

number of technological and validation projects to advance the

concepts of Civil UAVs. These projects are intended to involve

industry, SMEs, academia, research institutes across the 25

European Nations in the EC

8. UAVNET is organizing 10 Regional Workshops to reach out to

organizations throughout Europe which might potentially become

part of the Civil UAV revolution.

CAPECON’s Key FindingsCAPECON’s Key FindingsThere is a need to research and develop methods:

1. To lower the costs involved in present UAV technologies, in order to bring them into the commercial and civil UAV sphere.

2. To increase present safety and reliability through technological research and development, into structures that are more efficient, enhanced fail-safe systems, improved collision avoidance systems tailored to civil UAVs with system autonomous recovery.

3. To formulate the final civil UAV configurations that will provide the highest affordability rating and thus be the first in the commercial market.

USICO Kickoff Also May 2002


European Commission USICOUSICO• Goal: Improving operational capability & safety of UAVs• Scope of Work

– Recommendations for UAV system airworthiness certification procedures and standards

– Recommendations for UAV operations regulations– Technology for sense and avoid - proposals for research

into image recognition & sensors and adapted ADS-B technology

– Flight simulation of UAV ATC/ATM process

Overview


European Commission

USICO’s main recommendationsUSICO’s main recommendations

• Authority of UAV Task Force initiated by JAA and EUROCONTROL to be recognised and its recommendations to be implemented by EASA without undue interference or further endless iterations.

• European aeronautical research shall consider UAVs as high priority item, which can be treated in parts as the avant-garde of new innovative aerial vehicles influencing manned aircraft and their operation as well.

• European UAV interests to be represented as integral part of the European aerospace and defence industries. No other organisation than the European “Aerospace and Defence Industries Association (ASD)” better suited to play this role.

An EC-funded research project has unveiled its proposals for a new generation of aircraft that are intended to give Europe the edge in the civil UAV sectorThree years after its launch, the European Commission-funded CAPECON civil unmanned air vehicle design project has unveiled proposals for a new generation of aircraft intended to significantly improve UAV reliability, facilitate air-traffic integration and reduce overall acquisition costs.Comprising four high-altitude and two medium-altitude, long-endurance (HALE and MALE) fixed-wing UAV designs, plus two rotary-wing UAVs, the designs are to be put forward for potential development as part of the new European civil UAV roadmap being prepared by the European Commission's UAVNET project.The eight platform proposals are about to be joined by a series of designs for new-generation small civil-application UAVs, the initial concepts for which were revealed at the UAVNET 13 meeting in Eilat, Israel, in mid-May. These configurations include a concept for an electrically powered version of the Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) I-View military UAV; a combustion engine-powered twin tail-boom version of the same aircraft; a larger version of the IAI Bird Eye mini-UAV series; and a wholly new lightweight, electrically powered mini-UAV.The additional designs mark a major shift in CAPECON and UAVNET thinking, as both projects identify small UAVs as the most likely platform class to open up a viable civil UAV marketplace in the near term.
