Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned Systems (JARUS)
- Read 2284 times
/8th May 2017, DRONE MARKET WATCHTM/ JARUS is a cooperation of (currently) 45 civil aviation authorities worldwide and its aim is to develop harmonised rules for unmanned aircraft recommending a set of technical, safety and operational requirements for the certification and safe integration of drones into airspace and at aerodromes. European Commission and the European Parliament have recognised JARUS as the most pragmatic ‘working engine’ to develop the necessary rules. This will ensure harmonisation worldwide and JARUS is expected to contribute to the ICAO work. The EU is, therefore, fully engaged in JARUS and provides significant resources.
The JARUS work provides guidance material to help each national authorities write their own requirements and avoid duplicate efforts. The endorsement of JARUS guidance, even at a high level, facilitates acceptance of airworthiness and operational approvals between CAAs globally. However, each State or Regional Organization will need to decide how to use the harmonized provisions developed by JARUS. JARUS work addresses unique regulatory needs shared by its members such as the need to develop a "Concept of Operations" to define the level of regulatory involvement for different classes of RPAS and the need to address very low level operations of RPAS. JARUS does not seek to duplicate the work of ICAO or international standards bodies.
JARUS members participate in these and other international drone efforts and JARUS will continue to coordinate its work so that it is complementary to any related work conducted by ICAO or international standards bodies. JARUS should also find the appropriate ways to take advantage from industry expertise and establish an effective working relationship. Industry is expected to engage in the technical working groups of JARUS and so facilitate the development of industry standards in the standard setting bodies.
In the reports of DRONE MARKET WATCHTM you will learn how drones (UAVs) could be operated in the EU airspace in the coming years to maintain the high levels of safety, privacy and data protection, security, or environmental protection.
