Advancing Small UAS Operations in the UK: A Consortium for Growth and Innovation

The Small UAS Consortium, formed in 2013, includes key players like ARPAS-UK, Blue Bear, and Southampton University. With a focus on overcoming barriers to small UAS growth, the consortium aims to expand operations into Beyond Visual Line of Sight and congested areas. Key initiatives include developing advanced technologies, ensuring safety and secure communications, and engaging end-users to define demonstration scenarios. Collaborators include SMEs, primes, academia, and industry trade associations, working towards market opportunities and innovative solutions.

  1. Small UAS Consortium • The Small UAS Consortium comprises: • ARPAS-UK, Blue Bear, Callen-Lenz, QinetiQ, QuestUAV, Think Research, Southampton University • SMEs, Prime, academia and national trade association • Formed in 2013 to drive forward the technology and growth potential of small UAS operations in the UK • Contact Dr Sue Wolfe, Callen-Lenz sue.wolfe@callenlenz.com

  2. Small UAS Consortium Project • To overcome key barriers to growth of the sUAS sectorthrough: • Scenarios which extend current routine operations envelope to Beyond Visual Line of Sight, Congested Areas etc. • Development of key technologies, specific to small UAS, including device miniaturization, safety & conspicuityapproaches, secure comms systems, systems integration • Validation through a series of end user-defined demonstrations Exploitation route • Engagement with UAS end users at project outset to develop key demonstration scenarios • Market opportunities with shortened lead times as a direct result of the project Partners that you are seeking • Secure communications • UAS operators already working with end-users
