UAVs integration into Civilian Controlled Airspace - The Perspective of UAV Manufacturers 1
AGENDA 2 1. Current Status of UAV s in South Africa 2. International Developments in UAV s 3. Challenges in the RSA UAV Environment 4. The Manufacturers Perspective 5. Open Discussion
1. Current Status of UAVs in South Africa 3 1. Denel has been manufacturing and safely operating UAV for over the past 38 years 2. Has a developed and a growing UAV s Manufacturing Sector Denel Dynamics Paramount Group 3. Amongst the first countries to promulgate UAV (RPAS) Regulations in the world. 4. Amongst the first countries to adopt the UAV (RPAS) Technology for commercial use (Currently over R2 billion market) Aerial Monitoring Solutions ALTI UAS OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW ECONOMIC SECTOR WITH SOUTH AFRICANS AS LEADER IN ALL AREAS, IF HANDLED SENSIBLY Passerine Aircraft Corporation Haevic
1. Current Status of UAVs in South Africa 4 NOTE: - Estimated turnover 6 times more than formal turnover informal - Estimated UAV s more close to 20 times the estimated UAV s commercial - Estimated formal Jobs is close to 10x the formal jobs
2. INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS IN UAVS 5 Helicopter-like rotor-blade drones have fixed wings that allow them to fly silently, taking off and landing vertically. Picture: EHANG Urban Mobility Air Vehicles Unmanned Cargo Aircraft Balloon Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
3. CHALLENGES IN THE RSA UAV ENVIRONMENT 6 Industry says Onerous UAV regulations: Public liability insurance R500,000 for each UAV RSA UAV Operational Environment Pilots re-tested every year including medicals High Mid Air Collision Risk Drone Operations Staff Complement Rapid Growth in UAV Aircraft Drone registration limited to one site
4. UAV MANUFACTURERS PERSPECTIVE 7 1. The Country needs a National UAV Integration Programme 2. Driven in a collaborative manner between the stakeholders - Air Space Users - ATNS (Air Navigation Service - SACAA (Regulator) - UAV Aircraft Manufacturers - Air Navigation Equipment Manufacturers 3. Driven in a phased approach to enable Commercial UAV operations, while minimizing the identified risks
4. UAV MANUFACTURERS PERSPECTIVE 8 - An 18 Year, 3 phased Programme addressing very specific issues that enable Safe UAV Operations in Civilian Controlled Airspace.
5. DISCUSSION AND WAY FORWARD 9 OPEN DISCUSSION
