More information on UAV'10 - 3rd International Symposium on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
UAV’10, federated with
CAD'10, is not just another conference; its main focus is on information exchange, sharing of experiences, observations, as well as difficulties among scientists, engineers, researchers and practitioners dealing with Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
As such, the main objective of UAV'10 is to bring together different groups of qualified representatives from academia, industry, the private sector, government agencies like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Defense (DoD), the Armed Forces, funding agencies, state and local authorities to discuss the current state of UAS advances, the anticipated roadmap to their full utilization in military and civilian domains, but also present current obstacles, barriers, bottlenecks and limitations to flying autonomously in civilian space. Of paramount importance is to define needed steps to integrate UAS into the National Airspace System (NAS). Therefore, UAS risk analysis assessment, safety, airworthiness, definition of target levels of safety, desired fatality rates and certification issues are central to the Symposium objectives.
