/4^th August 2017, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Drone (UAV) technology brings radical changes. The drone (UAV) technology creates opportunities for new services and applications. They represent a tremendous opportunity both for the global aeronautical manufacturing industry, especially for small and medium sized enterprises, and for the many aviation and non-aviation businesses that will be able to integrate drones (UAVs) into their activities, and increase their efficiency and competitiveness.

/22^nd June 2017, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Drone technologies are developing fast. That is why the regulation bodies on international and national levels also intend to move to performance based rulemaking. Detailed rules will set specific performance objectives, functionalities or processes. Industry standards will propose technologies or methods to comply with the rules. This implies an important responsibility for industry to support the definition of standards.

/8^th May 2017, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ 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.

/16^th February 2017, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Some of the key technologies are not yet available to allow for the safe integration of RPAS. Research and development (R&D) efforts will focus on the validation of these technologies. R&D is carried out by different research programmes managed by various organisations including the European Commission, Eurocontrol, the European Defence Agency and the European Space Agency.
