RPAS Today - Opportunities and Challenges

Remotely piloted aircraft are still not yet a feature of everyday life, however the numbers in use is growing rapidly and the range of operations that they support increasing.

This conference, organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Specialist Group, will provide delegates with essential information on the factors that are supporting the proliferation of civil use as well as providing clear insights into the regulatory and other constraints in place to ensure public safety and privacy.

The capabilities, opportunities and technologies are developing at a rapid pace and will be outlined by various experts from UK, Europe and America. In addition speakers from UK Government organisations will present a vision of the support available, the requirements to be adhered to and the way in which regulations are developing.

The conference will begin with a keynote speech from the head of UK CAA and will follow up on day two with the views of the Minister for Universities & Science and the Programme Director at Astraea.
