Tailored to UAV type and role
Undergoing Ratification
Being translated into French
Public domain

8. 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!

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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

12. 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” ?
