12 Sept 2006LFV Group The Swedish Air Navigation Service Provider1

UAVs in ATM a cooperative approach

By Göran Lindqvist LFV Group

An ATS' providers and an ATCO' view and involvement in future UAV

operations

UAV integration with other traffic into non segregated airspace


LFV and SAAB joint Simulation studies & Workshops performed 2006/07


Cooperation

Several actors jointly contributing in

development of UAVs in non-segregated

airspace focusing on newest ATM technology

CASTOR UAV DEMO


UAV business opportunities

Cost effective

Easy to operate

Long endurance

Certified for all types of airspace

New civil markets


Missions


Civil UAV (no pic onboard!!)Well developed Autonomy

Limited a/c performances

Customer is on-line to receive its “products”

Like to operate anywhere

Asks for ATM flexibility

The real challenge is not to make UAV’s fly,but to qualify them for operating in controlled airspace.

Operational Service and Environmental Description(A joint LFV and SAAB doc.)

Simulations, Workshops and validation studies: Sturup UAV Demos


A Parallel process

Rail #1: UAV Certification processStimulate and Motivate close contact with the Swedish Civil Regulator Authority and the Military Flight Safety Inspectorate

Rail #2: Platform and Infrastructure developmentRapid prototyping, definition of onboard and ground software architecture and functional breakdown, simulations and demo´s


Simulation/Workshop executions At Malmö-Sturup by ANS Development unit

In the former SATSA, now The Nordic ATS Academy building (“Entry Point North”)


Objectives

• Validate operational concept enabling routine flight with UAVs in all types of air-classes

• Gap analysis of impact on the ATM Community and on the UAV Airworthiness process, and suggest potential solutions that should be considered.

• Identify how further developments of the ATM infrastructure and UAV technology can improve UAV operability.

• Demonstrate in a simulated environment all phases that will demonstrated in flight within the 2007/2008 Castor UAV Demo:s.


Sturup UAV Demos

organized into:

WS1 – “Normal/Abnormal Operations” Jan-06

WS2 – “Sense & Avoid functionalities” Mar-06

WS3 – “UAV 4D-Vision” Nov-06

Observations from first Workshop On ground:Taxiing difficulties, PIC visual ”separations”, phone connection ATC-UCS?In the air: Visual holdings? Re-clearances? Approach-procedures and minima? ILS or GPS? Visual contact with RWY?Failures: data-link, comms, engine, etc; which procedure to follow!? Signal lamp?


Validation issues Simulation/WS2 + 3

* ”Sence & Avoid” functionality

* Collision Avoidance – conflict management

in C- resp G-airspace

* TCAS/ACAS for detection of other traffic

* ADS-B functionalities incl 4D trajectories* CPDLC is the service enabling ATC to directly access the UAV

Unfamiliar situations to ATM •UAV forces new solutions to so far unknown behaviours of civil traffic•The grade of automation in UAVs makes it necessary for ATM to treat UAV differently•Large numbers of simultaneous UAV operating in same area; Long endurance…•Requests changed clearances to other areas and routes then was flight-planned•Data link failures; Engine and avionic failures


UAVs -like flying ”Virgins”

Innocent

Curious

Very well equipped

High precision

Will bridge us into a new era of civil and military ATM


UAV – enablers for new ATM concept

2020

2005


• Increased automation and ASAS functions

• Including elements• ADS-B incl. 4D trajectories

• C DLC commands

• Graphic exchange of route requests and changes

UAV - enablers for new ATM concept

PU


Vital injection

UAV can be catalyser for a fast move

into ASAS vision

A vision: can ATM providers down streams take an active role in also operating UAVs…?


Be sure, UAV will share the Sky.Make it an opportunity for ASAS

functionalities !

Thank you for your attention !
