The aim of this project is to study the possibility or necessity of creating specific product standards for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to make them more reliable in complex electromagnetic environments, such as those found in large urban areas, and to assess whether the current directives and regulations applied to them are sufficient. This project tries to justify the need for specific regulations for UAVs regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and present the current and future motivation behind this approach. The components of a UAV will be analysed, and those most susceptible to EMC will be studied, as they are the ones that can be affected by the electromagnetic environment in operational scenarios. At this point, the question will be raised as to whether the current regulations applied to UAVs are sufficient to prevent electromagnetic interference, and a comparisón will be made with the regulations currently applied to aircraft and electrical/electronic devices. At this stage, tests will be proposed for the possible creation of new specific regulations for UAV, based on modifications of existing tests but adapted to the requirements of this type of aircraft. Additionally, new tests that are currently not applied to these aircraft but would enhance their reliability will be proposed. Finally, with all the knowledge gained, the best course of action will be discussed to ensure that complex electromagnetic environments do not pose a problem for the reliability of UAV in the future. This will allow for the unification of regulations applied to UAVs and improve their reliability before their future integration into large urban areas
