What’s the Difference?• Non-profits exist to support our respective

industries. Proceeds from our meetings are re-invested into supporting our industry throughadditional educational programs, subsidizedevents, industry support groups (ISGs),scholarships, etc.

• For-profits exist to make money for the ownersand/or benefactors.


“promote and support… througheducation and leadership.”

• AUVSI represents more than 2500 UAVproponents, users and manufacturers (vastly morethan any other single organization)• We bring the broadest, most complete industryperspective to this challenge• We believe that the rules must allow allclasses of UAVs access to the NAS or largeportions of the industry will be catastrophicallyaffected• We are concerned that some current efforts areonly considering individual classes/types of UAVs

Unprecedented Growth for UAVs(and AUVSI)


• Membership at all-time highs– 2,100+ at the end of 2001

• Successful UAV Demo at Webster Field led torecord-breaking attendance at AUVSI symposium

• 1,800 attendees at Unmanned Systems 2001 was33% greater than previous record

• Partnership with EURO UVS!

Unprecedented Growth for UAVs(and AUVSI)


What It’s All About---airspace:..access to--AUVSI GOAL: unite the military &

civil UAV communities with acommon purpose

Vision

Goals

Harness the power of the UAV Industry and itsassociations towards addressing all the issuesneeded for UAVs to access the NAS

…..file and fly in a day

Agree on the need for Consensual ViewsAgree we need to Consolidate and Orchestrateand Speak with ONE VOICEAgree on the Framework for a UAV Alliance(UAV-A)


Objectives

Define the UAV Alliance FrameworkAgree on an approach and scope of workEvaluate the EURO-UVS UCARE Program for itscontent

StrategyLeverage ongoing efforts-Keep DOD Out in FrontDoes the UCARE Program Outline the Scope


We Need a Way to Get There-Together

A Comprehensive RoadmapThat Identifies all the Questionsand provides the Recommendationsrelative to the Introduction of Civil,Commercial, and Military UAVsinto Civil Managed Airspace

Roadmaps provide the details for a Noticefor Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

& Collision Avoidance


New Mexico State University(NMSU TAAC)

• Physical Science Laboratory• Technical Analysis and Applications Center

(TAAC)– Established in 2000 to accomplish the safe integration

of UAVs in the National Airspace System to allowroutine flights with numerous applications.

– Enhance the utility of UAVs and maintain U.S. industryUAV dominance. TAAC is a division of the PhysicalScience Laboratory (PSL), located at New Mexico StateUniversity (NMSU).

– Promoting UAV Operations and Safe Integration into theNational Airspace System

• Has a 3 hr. FAA Regulatory Short Course


AIA Flight Operational Test Group(FOTG)

• AIA/Engineering Management Counsel– Review Rules for UAV Contractors under

government contractors for flight testing UAV

• In between UAV Contractors, the DCMA, andthe Govt/FAA


AIAA

• UAV Systems, Technologies andOperations Conference & Workshop– Enabling Technologies

– Emerging Operational capabilities

• Workshop Scope– Key integration issues for UAVs

– Sense/Detect and Avoid Technologies


How Much Can the Industry Take?

NMSU Meeting


So What’s the Problem?

• Everyone has an opinion?

• Not all opinions are heard?

• Who speaks to the FAA for the UAVIndustry?

• And How?

• Having FAA attend your meeting doesnot mean the FAA agrees,concurs, orapproves.


Consensual Views

• -that is –‘consensual, one formed byconsent’.

• ‘Consent’ means to agree to aproposed action, or an agreement ina course of action.


FAA Realities

W e can ’ t speak f o r t hem bu t we make somea s s u m p t i o n s :

• F A A d o e s n o t have sufficient resources to respond toe v e ry industry request, every association request, everyDoD Serv ice request , or every user on a 1 on 1

situation.• Current demand for Certif icates of Authorization (CO A )

is manageable!!

• DoD demands on the FAA are dupl icat ive: G lobal Hawk,Predator etc. FAA can handle them and only RequireA T M a tten tion.

• O ther Lines of Business are laissez faire as DoDService Self Certi f ies


There is Precedent

• FAA prefers to address an industry throughan ‘association’: NBAA, AOPA, etc.

• Air Traffic has at least recognized that FAAmust address the needs of an emergingdemand on the NAS.

• 10 yrs for an IFR rotary wing infrastructure• $80M of Tilt-rotors sold with no TR

infrastructure in place?• If we start now-the need should meet the

reality


Associations Are at Work

• Organize and focus on the commongoal for the industry

• Divide and target respective lines ofbusiness

• Pool resources and the leverageindustry strengths

• Avoid any perception of competing


Ideas for Consideration

FAA• Recognize UAVs are coming to the airspace• Must demand the UAV community speak with

a single voiceUAV Industry• We all merge our FAA UAV Meetings–• Invitations to all mailing lists• Attendees get their money’s worth• No organizational in-fighting• 4-6 meetings a year–

Divide the WorkAssign to our StrengthsCollect & CollatePrint & Publish


Define the Content

• Does the UCARE program describe thetotal requirements?

• Can we adopt it for USA Roadmap?

• Solicit your evaluations and opinions

• Create the Table of Contents for aReport


UAV AllianceDirects the Work Share

• UAV Alliance makes assignments toOrganizations and their respectiveworking groups to research, create,write, and publish their respectivefindings.

• UAV Alliance collects, collates, andassembles industry inputs


One Voice to the FAA

• The UAV Alliance presents theintroduction of UAV (ROAs) into theNAS and supports the development ofan aviation infrastructure for the safeintroduction into the NAS

• The UAV Alliance shall represent itsMembers’ interests as the principaladvocate and voice for integratingUAVs, both military and commercial,into the NAS before Congress, theAdministration, state and localgovernments and the media.


Remember the Goal

• Create, structure, and write a UAV/ROARoadmap the identifies and answers allthe issues needed for Air Traffic,Certification, and Air Worthiness

• Not to mention reliability and insurance?


CLONE UCARE?

• Create the Mirror Image of UCARE inthe USA

• Can we agree on the scope


Ideas for Consideration

• UAV Alliance dictates the topics byassignments

• We focus our FAA UAV Meetings–

• Invitations to all organizations

• Attendees get their money’s worth

• No organizational in-fighting

• 4-6 meetings a year


Better Idea?

Focus on UAVs in the NAS

UAVs in the National Air Space Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov DecAUVSI & DOD/FAA Meetings in DC

NMSU & NASA Meetings (West Coast)AIAA Meetings

Al l attend plenary session in prep for internat ional

session


UAV Alliance Timing

• This is the RIGHT Time to push for keydecisions from the FAA to assess thecertification, equipage, and access forROAs into the NAS

• The FAA National Airspace Re-designeffort is the singe greatest undertakingin reshaping the NAS!


Expectations

• It is unrealistic to expect the urgentneed for UAVs in support of HomelandDefense to immediately penetrate theFAA’s Three Lines of Business and bewelcome in the National Airspace—– Not this week

– Not this year


We have the workforce

• We have the workforce and the energy

• We have the best and mostexperienced leaders on the team

• We can complete the UAV Roadmap in12-18 months

• Put forth a complete UAV Roadmap andPetition for Rule Making


How Much Can the Industry Take?
