STANAG 4670 - DUO Training Requirements Designated UAV Operator Lists skills by Subject knowledge areas Task knowledge Task performance Tailored to UAV type and role Undergoing Ratification Being translated into French Public domain

STANAG 4671 - USAR UAV Systems Airworthiness Requirements Fixed wing UAVs 150 to 20,000 kg Not stand alone – broad equivalence with CS-23 US, UK, FR, NL Ratified with Reservations so far Public domain – always!

USAR - Rotary Wing USAR - Light FINAS intend to produce certification codes: USAR-RW based on CS-27 Italy lead USAR-Light UAVs < 150kg France lead

Study 4685 - Human Factors and UAV System Safety FINAS exploring new topic Agree objectives and deliverables Agree approach analyse UAV accidents understand HF performance make recommendations

Sense & Avoid Functional Requirements Must consider separation provision & collision avoidance Critically dependent on CONOPS Ambient probability of collision Proposing TLOS = 5 x 10-9 collisions/flight hr Safety validation needed

How can NATO help? NATO is NOT a “Regulator” but….. Standardisation promotes: interoperability economy of effort mutual trust Why not use our USAR as basis for civil “CS-UAV” ?
