2018 Roadmap for the Aerial Industrial Revolution Developing Technology and Improving the Overall Environment for Safe Utilization of sUAS 15 June 2018 The Public-Private Council for UAS Promotion and Regulation 2018～ First half of 2020’s～ Package delivery to remote islands and mountains, disaster investigation, etc. Urban delivery, security, etc. Use Level３　BVLOS; Less-populated Areas（without a safety assistant for the pilot） Level１～２　VLOS　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Further expansion Level 4: BVLOS; Populated Areas Higher Levels 1：Human piloted flight 2：Automated/autonomous （over populated areas） （Densely populated areas, heavier UAVs, etc.） 2018（FY） 2019 2020～ 2020s Future Image Overall Environment Improvement Comprehensive Study 　Issue Identification　　　　 Detailed Study (UAV registration and ID, incident victim relief, cyber ​​security, etc.) Preparing the overall environment related to Clarification of requirements for Level 4 communications and testing Overall Environment for Safe Use of Drones Revision of guidelines for flights over people uninvolved in an operation Regime for safety/reliability certification, identification and registration of UAVs Qualification system for pilots and flight operators Obligatory accident reporting system; rules for victim relief in accidents Rules for UTMS Study requirements for UAVs, operators and operations Revise guidelines for BVLOS Identify issues for Flights Over People Examine future direction Consider requirements Clarify rules as necessary (In step with technology development) Gather/analyze safety/incident data ISO, JIS, etc. Consider aircraft safety and reliability evaluation methods Flight testing, etc.　Test data, etc. International standardization Fukushima Robot Test Field (RTF) Test site Airfield with impact absorption net Open Wide area flight zone Communications towers Runway, etc. Wind tunnel facility Area for infrastructure inspection, etc. Use of RF Communications 　Research and consideration on the use of radio communications, etc. Aerial use of mobile phone networks Evaluation, international standardization 　New system operational Development of domestic system Establishment and operation of a region-based Japanese “Regulatory Sandbox” system Drone Information Platform System (DIPS) operational Flight information sharing for improved convenience Further improvement Safe and Convenient Management of the Skies Deployment of UTMS for society Safety and coordination of manned and unmanned aircraft International standardization Safe and Reliable UAS UAVs that don’t fall from the sky, or that remain safe even in case of a fall Advanced autonomous flight Consider linking DIPS and UTMS for manned aircraft-UAS safety and coexistence Goal: 2020 Acceptable safety and reliability for Level 4 Technology Development Ⅰ. Realizing a substitute for visual function Recognizing and responding to aircraft condition and surrounding environment; Technology for radio use; Other technology issues, etc. Further improvement Further improvement Aircraft autonomy and intelligence Radio technology improvement, etc. UAS Traffic Management System (UTMS) Total design, integration of UTMS Flight Demonstration Detect and Avoid (DAA) Development & integration of RF, optical sensors, etc. Remote ID and positioning Apply to UTMS, DAA, etc. Demonstrate at the RTF Comparison of wireless systems　　　Demonstration　　　Consideration of future direction　　　International standardization Ⅱ. Ensuring the safety of people and property　 ⅰ. Ensure reliability（e.g., reliability of aircraft and C2 links, weather resistance） ⅱ. Mitigate risk（e.g., collision safety）
