EASA Prototype Rule (foreseen entry into force in 2019)
This document may not be reproduced, modified, adapted, published, translated, in any way, in whole or in
● Geo-Fencing class 2 (permanent function) and class 3 (selectable function)
● Electronic Identification (ID, Localization) according to UAV category
French Law voted in October 2016 (entry into force 1st July 2018)
● Drones whose mass exceeds a threshold to be fixed between 0 and 800
grams have to carry an electronic or numerical reporting device.
● The device insure the issuing of ID and Localization information
Regulations are coming while the industry standards and concepts
are not ready (yet?!)

● Air situation (cooperative UAV discrimination)
● Detect and Alert (non-conformance)
Drone Operators
● Support their mission by providing local information
● Alert in case of unexpected event (UTM to Operator)
● Local information sharing (Operator to UTM)
Social acceptance (privacy concerns)
● Social sharing on drone flights
Cooperative surveillance actively contribute to safety, security,
efficient operations and societal acceptance
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCESingle solution vs Multiple solutions

A single solution fitting to all?
This document may not be reproduced, modified, adapted, published, translated, in any way, in whole or in
● Theoretically the most attractive approach
● But such solution does not exist today while it could lead to discriminatory
effects
Multiple solutions according to operations, UAVs category and
environment?
● Enable to adapt the on-board solution(s) to the business objective(s) of the
UAVs and its capabilities (payload, etc.)
● Enable authorities to tailor the requirement(s) to the risk(s)
The multiple solutions approach is pragmatic but require a particular
standardization strategy
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCEPerformance based standardization
For Identification

● A single format or a set of interoperable format (between nations)
● Cyber secured (spoofing) and protected from malicious act (ID
modification, etc.)
For Localization (ex: GPS) and Datalink (ex: 4G LTE Mobile Network)
● For each candidate localization technology , insure that, at least, the
following values are standardized (define class of performance?)
– Accuracy
– Latency
– Frequency
– Integrity (jamming, etc.)

● An operator is flying lie of sight operations in line of sight airspace only will
identify his position.
● A UAV in UAS airspace will broadcast its ID and Position
● The UTM tracker receives the data and use the ID(UAS or Operator) to get
the UAV characteristics (including its surveillance equipment and
performance) from the registry
● Then, the system handles the fusion and does sanity checks (expected
performance vs actual performance, airspace capacity)
The foreseen high level of UTM automation will handle the
complexity induced by this multi-criteria approach
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCEIn a nutshell
▌ Multiple UAS types and Missions will need to be handled, BVLOS, VLOS,

Commercial, Automatic flights, Hobbyist.
▌ UAS or operators will be responsible for separation, UTM will be responsible
for capacity management.
▌ Drones will need to be tracked, with multiple solutions and requirements
depending on the area and type of use.
▌ Drone Classification, airspace classification and planning is needed to
enable effective, efficient and safe drone operations.
