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 “CSUAV” ?
