  1. MIDCAS … Health Monitoring Sense & Avoid UAV Crew Licence Airworthiness ATOL Frequency Spectrum Allocation CNS/ATM Security Certification The MIDCAS Program is to be considered as one of the strategic components of the UAV Roadmap 2012 MIDCAS and EDA proposed strategic objectives 2012 The objective of the MIDCAS program is to solve the critical sense&avoid issue and, hereby, together with other activities, enable the operation of UAVs in non-segregated airspace.

  2. Analysis & decision Flight Control System Separation provision The MIDCAS demonstratorMID Air Collision Avoidance System for UAV Systems MIDCAS Cooperative sensors (TCAS, ADS-B) Non-cooperative sensors (radar, EO/IR, …) Data processing “intruders mapping” Sense function module Air vehicle performances model (if needed) Data link (air terminal) Separation assistance Non-imminent risk Imminent risk Semi Automatic flight mode Inputs (heading/altitude) Intruders position Avoid function Module Collision avoidance Data link (ground terminal) Air vehicle Ground Control Station

  3. MIDCAS Overview • Start of work : 2008 • Duration : 4 years • Value : To be negotiated • Technical Input : • EDA R&T 05-003 “Demonstration study on Sense & Avoid technologies for long-endurance UAV” • National studies from Participating Nations • Technical Output : • Deliverables open to all pMS and UAV stakeholders to provide the technical back-up needed for the establishment of a Sense & Avoid standard. • A Sense & Avoid technological demonstrator that will enable the use of UAV Systems in non-segregated airspace

  4. Status of Countries April 2008 : • FR, ok. • SE, ok - government check before signing PA. • GE, proposal on the program content, discussions initiated. • IT, expressed interest, has requested clarification from EDA in order to avoid duplication. • SP, recently asked for information about the current program status and possibilities to participate.

  5. Ad hoc category B “Join in” conditions 1/ Demonstrated know-how and expertise on technological aeronautical skills directly applicable in the “Sense & Avoid” area, 2/ Contributing Members are committed, in 2008, to a minimum budget of 10 M€ during the 4 years period of the program (This budget might be mixed Gov/Ind). 3/ Agree and respect basic MIDCAS IPR principles.

  6. MIDCAS Basic IPR Principleslist of deliveries Class 1 • System level (mid-air collision avoidance) outputs • Project progress synthetic data • CONOPS & ATM compatibility • Mid-air collision requirements • Mid-air collision system architecture • Operational procedures • Performance assessment through simulation and demonstration (& associated environmental conditions) • Safety analysis results • Human factor study results • MIDCAS system features (for integration purposes) Class 2 (MIDCAS eyes only) • All other deliverable outputs • Justification of the system level output

  7. MIDCAS Basic IPR Principlesdelivery purposes Class 1 (open to all UAV stakeholders) • Feeding the regulatory & standardisation bodies with pertinent inputs • To obtain their feedback • To ensure consistency of the MIDCAS project with ongoing standardisation works • To allow CAAs to prepare information for the manned aviation community • Informing the aviation community (manned & unmanned) pilots &ATC associations, airlines… • To make them aware of the proposed system solutions (transparency) • To obtain their feedback Class 2 (MIDCAS eyes only) • All other deliverable outputs

  8. Programme set up at EDA 01/08 09/08 06/07 09/07 03/08 06/08 C O N T R A C T A W A R D EDA R&T 05-003 study Silence procedure Programme definition & convergence (industries & pMS) Presentation to potential European Participants Programme Arrangement preparation EDA Steering Board approval Project Presentation to EDA by initiating pMS Contract preparation Project Presentation to NAD Steering Board EDA ad hoc category B process Outline Description Form Submitted to EDA EDA contract award no later than fall 08

  9. EDA as contracting agency + Totally in line with EDA intentions for UAV-traffic insertion and development + Visibility and leverage relative airworthiness agencies + Visibility and leverage relative major stakeholders + IPR rules and contract template are in place + No money across borders + MoU in place

  10. MIDCAS contacts • Tomas Eriksson Program Manager MIDCAS Joint Materiel Command – FMV + 46 8 782 4156 tomas.eriksson@fmv.se • Régis Brigaud Head of the UAS management department DGA/DSA/UM MID/UAS + 33 1 46 19 78 29 regis.brigaud@dga.defense.gouv.fr
