Drones are shaping our everyday lives in many different ways. And they will do so in both rural and urban regions to an even greater extent in the future than they already do. This requires more than just the creation of practicable economic and regulatory framework conditions. There is also a specific need for action in terms of technical and physical infrastructure.
In order to set the course for the future here, UAV DACH not only has an expert group dealing with the technical infrastructure for safe drone operation in airspace (“Infrastructure Airspace”). In a newly created Competence Group “Infrastructure Ground”, specialists led by Benjamin Spiske are looking at what practicable standards for vertiports and take-off and landing areas for unmanned aircraft systems could look like. One of the Competence Group's first specific projects is to develop a white paper on a holistic and long-term “Advanced Air Mobility Strategy in Germany and Europe”.
Intensive expert group work is a key pillar of the work of the Unmanned Aviation Association. In the Competence and Application Groups and the Legal Advisory Board, specialists are committed to developing proposals and specific concepts for the future regulatory and operational design of commercial UAS operations. Here, for example, technical solutions are sought for current challenges in unmanned aviation and ideas are developed for the harmonization of standards and specifications. The specialist groups are open to all interested UAV DACH members who want to get involved in shaping suitable framework conditions for the industry and thus also for their own business operations.
