33 Questions This concluded my briefing and I am more than delighted to have the opportunity to answer your questions… Thank you for your patience…

34 Flight Plan - Key Issues
Integration and Interoperability Air Space Management Command and Control Bandwidth & RF Spectrum Management Force Development Human Factors Training Tactics, Techniques and Procedures Operational Concepts Lessons Learned Concept of Operations for UAS in Afghanistan INTEGRATION AND INTEROPERABILITY ARE KEY ISSUES. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NATO STANAGS, THESES ARE NOT WELL KNOWN OR ADHERED TO. AIRSPACE MANAGEMENT, AND PARTICULARLY THE INTEGRATION OF UAVS INTO CIVILIAN AIRSPACE IS A VITAL AREA, FOR OPERATIONS AND TRAINING.. TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENTS WILL ASSIST, BUT ONLY IF WE CAN AGREE ON, FOR EXAMPLE, SENSE AND AVOID TECHNOLOGIES. COMMAND AND CONTROL WILL INEVITABLY BE A DIFFICULT AREA TO RESOLVE. WE NEED TO FIND WAYS OF COORDINATING THE REQUIREMENTS OF ALL THE POTENTIAL USERS OF UAS SO THAT THERE IS THE MAXIMUM FREEDOM TO OPERATE AND THE MINIMUM RISKS OF COLLISION AND MUTUAL INTERFERENCE. WE ALSO NEED TO AVOID SITUATIONS WHERE WE HAVE MULTIPLE UAVS ALL LOOKING AT THE SAME AREA ON THE GROUND. BANDWIDTH IS GOING TO BE A KEY ISSUE FOR UAS, BUT RF SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT EQUALLY SO. THE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE LATTER ARE ENORMOUS; FOR EXAMPLE, FAILURE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND A CONFLICTION WITH CIVILIAN FREQUENCIES COST $900 MILLION DOLLARS TO PUT RIGHT ON THE B2 PROGRAMME. FORCE DEVELOPMENT IS AN AREA WHICH TENDS NOT TO GET MUCH ATTENTION COMPARED WITH THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF THE HOUSE. BUT UNMANNED SYSTEMS ARE BUILT, MAINTAINED AND TASKED BY MEN AND WOMEN TO BE OPERATED REMOTELY BY MANE AND WOMEN IN SUPPORT OF MEN AND WOMEN. WE NEED TO ADDRESS ALL THE HUMAN FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH MANNED AC, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF COCKPIT ERGONOMICS. WE NEED TO CAPTURE LESSONS LEARNED WITH UAS OPERATIONS SO FAR, AND IN RESPONSE TO A REQUEST BY GEN RICHARDS WHO IS COMMANDER OF NATO FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN, FOR CONCEPT OF OPS FOR UAS IN AFGHANISTAN WHERE CURRENTLY A NUMBER OF NATIONS HAVE UAS DEPLOYED, BUT ARE LARGELY OPERATING THEM AS NATIONAL ASSETS, OR AT LEAST NON OPTIMUM MANNER.

37 What NATO has done already?
NATO Staff Requirements (NSR) Impetus In order to face today's threat environment, it is vital to gain Information Superiority (IS) prior to and during political and/or military engagement Reconnaissance Surveillance and Target Acquisition (RSTA) UAVs can provide this capability and are well suited where the situation is unclear and unpredictable Aim In order to support the ambitions of the alliance member states with respect to the utilisation of NATO stated minimum military requirements and capabilities, by drafting NATO Staff Requirements (NSR) for HALE/MALE UAVs performing RSTA missions

38 NATO Staff Requirements (NSR)
Objective The NSRs for HALE & MALE RSTA UAV may be used in one of three ways: To state system requirements for a NATO Owned and Operated UAV capability, To guide development of national capabilities that would be compliant with the NATO ISR Interoperability Architecture (NIIA) and could be declared for NATO use or made available as a contribution in kind, or To provide a NATO RSTA capability that is a combination of NATO Owned and Operated, and National UAV systems

40 NATO Standardization Agency, Joint UAV Panel
CNAD NNAG JCGUAV NATO Standardization Agency, Joint UAV Panel STANAG (Standardization Agreement) 4586 – Standard Interfaces of UAV Control System (UCS) for NATO UAV Interoperability Dated 20 April 2002 Detailed standards for the Data Link Interface, the Command and Control Interface, and the Human Control Interface pages Draft STANAG – Standard Interoperable Command and Control Data Link (IC2DL) for NATO UAV Interoperability Draft STANAG – UAV Operator Medical Standards Draft STANAG – Training Standards for Designated UAV Operators NATO has established standard airfield requirements for aircraft, these can and should be applied to UAS What NATO has done already? Firstly, I would mention the standardization efforts through the Alliance. STANAG 4586 established since 2002 detailed requirements for UAV related interfaces: data link, C2 and human control interfaces. Meantime, NATO Standardization Agency has started the research on a STANAG for Interoperable C2 Data Link for NATO UAV Interoperability, another study for UAV Operator Medical Standards or a standard for the UAV Operators training. Regarding the NRF SOP’s, in the CJSOR part have already been foreseen HALE and MALE UAV,s as necessary assets to perform the missions.

41 STANAG 4586 STANAG 4586 Standard Interfaces of UAV Control Systems (UCS) for NATO UAV Interoperability “STANAGs rarely hit the headlines”, but this one “is really good news for NATO’s armaments community.” STANAG 4586 is a 2002 product but represents an important step for the future integration of UAV’s in the future NATO operational environment.
