REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
• A1-270/4-8901 Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Bundeswehr• Release/Certificaton of UAS in the Bundeswehr• Flight operations of UAS in the Bundeswehr• Licensing for UAS personel in the Bundeswehr• Design/Production/Maintenance Organisation requirements

TAKE AWAY
New risk based regulatory framework for UAS in the Bundeswehr
▪ future proof
▪ takes into account safety objectives of EASA and corresponding EU regulations
▪ensure interoperability
▪ takes into account national military interests
▪ Licensing
▪ Design/Production/Maintenance
▪ Release / Certification
▪ Flight Operations
