Hi everyone, we are excited to share with you the Roadmap of shortlisted standards for the UAS Pathway.
The standards have been grouped in 10 themes - Competency, Operations, Enterprise Safety Management and Assurance, Flightworthiness, C2 / C3 Link, Digital Trust and Assurance, Airspace Integration, Electronic Conspicuity, Detect and Avoid and Class Marking.
To facilitate the review process and discussions, each theme has its own discussion space.
Please download the document using the link below, and provide your feedback in the specific discussion space for each theme.
For example, are there any major themes that you think we’ve missed? Are there any specific standard that should be in the top list?
We look forward to your comments to produce a valuable resource to advance the industry towards routine UAS BVLOS Operations in integrated airspace at scale!
Some information about the UAS Pathway roadmap:
Background
BSI has developed a standards roadmap to support growth and industrialization of Future Flight in the UK.
Standards that support UAS routine BVLOS Operations in integrated airspace at scale are identified.
This is assumed to be for specific category operations.
Identification and Prioritization
Inputs from Future Flight Challenge projects, EASA’s Project Shepherd and ANSI Standardization Roadmap 2.0 Gaps Progress Report were used to compile an initial long list of standards.
As the UK is adopting SORA v2.5, the identified standards were then prioritized based on their potential to be used as acceptable means of compliance (AMC) to meet the requirements for SORA.
Note
To highlight standards specifically for Future Flight, applicable standards from conventional aviation are not included, e.g.
-
ARP4754/ED-79, Guidelines for development of civil aircraft and systems
-
DO-178C/ED-12C, Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification
-
DO-254/ED-80, Design Assurance Guidance for Airborne Electronic Hardware
-
DO-160G, Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment
