GLOBAL OUTLOOK IN AVIATION & DRONESDarshan DivakaranFUTURE OF AVIATIONWhat will define the next few years in aviation -• Drones• Artificial Intelligence & Robotics• Cyber Security• Environmental Change• Big Data• Emerging Technologies• In Flight Services• AppsAVIATION FORECASTThe aviation industry supports 65.5 million jobs around the world.The aviation industry supports $2.7 trillion (3.6%) of the world's gross domestic product (GDP)By 2036, global air transport is forecast to support 97.8 million jobs and contribute $5.7 trillion to the global economy.Aviation is now going beyond mobility between continents and cities – it is starting to impact mobility within cities.Emerging technologies are reshaping with robotics, artificial intelligence, the internet of things, unmanned aircraft systems and the push for hybrid and electric airplanesWHO IS USING DRONES/UASDrones are small remotely controlled aerial vehicles, i.e., unmanned aircraft systems. Some common applications of Drones• Agriculture• Construction• Emergency Services• Film Making• Environmental• InsuranceCommon agencies to use drones are:• Department of transportation• Emergency management• Public safety• Department of Agriculture• UniversitiesFACTORS THAT INFLUENCE UAS GROWTHThe future of the drone industry is still up for debate in many ways, since it depends on five factors that will dictate its value and influence• First, and perhaps most vital, is the issue of Public Acceptance.• Regulations will continue to determine the viability of different applications• Training & Standards will be needed in the future to ensure safety• Technological Capabilities will enable new drone applications• Economic Development will determine whether the applications will have a viable customer basePATH FORWARD FOR DRONESLine of Sight (In Progress)Regulations currently restrict drones to very low-level airspace and require human operators to watch and guide themBeyond Visual Line of Sight (Working Towards)New regulations and standards in the next few years will permit drone flights that go beyond the line of sight, creating demand for larger, more sophisticated drones. Remote Operations (Near Future)Once the technology is proved safe, we expect that regulators will allow remote operation, making it possible for drones to inspect hundreds of miles of power lines and deliver mail and parcels from remote locations.Self Piloted Aircrafts (Future)The final frontier of airborne drones is pilot -optional planes. This would need totally reliable long-distance wireless data communicationsSTANDARDS FOR TRAINING & CERTIFICATIONOrganizations like ASTM, AUVSI, ANSI, ISO, etc. are working to coordinate and accelerate the development of the standards and conformity assessment programs needed to facilitate the safe, mass integration of UAS into the national airspace system (NAS)Standards currently published or under revision/development including - operations over people; extended and beyond visual line of sight operations; operational risk assessments, etc.7ASTM PARACHUTE STANDARDSSpecification defines the design, fabrication, and test requirements of installable, deployable parachute recovery systems (PRS) that are designed to be integrated to lessen the impact energy of the system.Standard requires an autonomous triggering system to detect failures and deploy the parachute without relying on the pilot as well as a flight termination system.To meet the standard, parachute systems will need to pass a 45 deployments for multi-rotors through which they need to prove the effectiveness of the system.8REMOTE IDRemote ID is an important layer of technology utilizing hardware and software solutions that will enable drones to be identified while operating.The two ways of remotely identifying drones, will be known as Standard Remote ID and Limited Remote ID, and drones incapable of Remote ID will operate in areas known as FAA-Recognized Identification Areas (FRIAs).Standard Remote ID UAS use both network and broadcast Remote ID, while Limited Remote ID UAS use only network.Any UAS used for commercial operations under Part 107 and any recreational UAVs 0.55 pounds and over will require Remote ID.For privacy considerations, it is proposed that end-users have the option to use a Session ID that is randomly generated for every flight9CURRENT GLOBAL DRONE DELIVERY United States• FAA UAS Integration Pilot Program has given opportunities to companies like UPS, Wing, Zipline, Flytrex, etc. to use drone for delivery • UPS – Matterent first company to do routine medical drone delivery for revenueUnited Kingdom• UK is moving faster than the US to approve the widespread deployment of commercial drones. • Amazon has made significant advancements hereEurope• European Union is in the process of creating laws to regulate commercial drone-flying corridors of airspace called U-Space to allow a wide deployment of drone delivery services.• Matternet now works with the government mail system, Swiss Post, to deliver emergency medical suppliesCURRENT GLOBAL DRONE DELIVERY CanadaDrone Delivery Canada works with the Canadian government to test long-distance drone delivery flights that go out of the operator's sight and are able to operate at night.IrelandManna Aero starting to delivery fast-food via dronesAfricaZipline International works with the government of Rwanda and Ghana to deliver medical supplies using drones AustraliaWing has been approved by Australian Civil Aviation Authority to operate ongoing drone deliveries in North Canberra and Logan.SingaporeAirbus has begun shore-to-ship trials in Singapore with its Skyways parcel delivery drone.UAS INTEGRATION PILOT PROGRAMEstablished by US PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUMTEST and EVALUATE various models of state, local and tribal government involvement in the development of regulationsENCOURAGE UAS operators to develop and test new innovative UAS CONOPSINFORM development of federal guidelines and regulatory decisions on UAS operations nationwide12UNIQUE USE CASESHurricane ResponseWildlife Mitigation & MonitoringAerial Herbicide ApplicationFire Drones for Fire FightingHURRICANE RESPONSEDrones demonstrate a great value during Hurricane response: • Update conditions to get people off the road.• Monitor evacuation routes and traffic.• Gather and push real-time information on infrastructure and road conditions.• Post-storm damage assessment for repairs. • Assist with search, rescue and cleanup has helped speed disaster recovery.14WILDLIFE MITIGATION & MONITORINGThe world’s increasingly busy airports face a growing threat of birdstrikes and wildlife hazards, partly due to expanding urban environments and bird populations, but also due to the global growth of airport traffic.Collision between birds and planes is an issue that airports and air transportation agencies have been taking very seriously.Estimated $900+ million in damage to U.S. civil and military aircraft annually.Over 250 people have been killed worldwide as a result of wildlife strikes since 1988.15AERIAL HERBICIDE/PESTICIDE APPLICATIONSAgricultural drone technology has been improving in the last few years -• Minimizes volume of chemical output in comparison to traditional aerial application• Non-Invasive treatment approach  • Targeted treatment• 40-60 Times Faster Than Manual Spraying• Reduced risk of chemical exposure16FIRE DRONES FOR PRESCRIBED FIREDrones can help administer ‘Prescribed Fire’ which is beneficial as it -• Removes unwanted species that threaten species native to an ecosystem• Reduces hazardous fuels, protecting human communities from extreme fires• Minimizes the spread of pest insects and disease• Improves habitat for threatened and endangered species• Recycles nutrients back to the soil17DARSHAN DIVAKARANEXECUTIVE AVIATION
