This is a workshop that will cover both military and civil training issues related to the deployment of autonomous UAV systems. Using scenarios relevant to both military and civil deployment it will take attendees through the fundamental issues facing all operators.
This workshop will suit both military and civil personnel engaged in the training of UAS crew, and those charged with the design, development and operation of aircraft with significant autonomous behaviour in complex scenarios.
Aspects that will be covered include:
Roadmap to Autonomous UAS Operation
- History – R&D costs likely to be small compared to the next phase of development
- Todays technology – costs of developing Communication and Sense and Avoid Systems etc
- Tomorrows aspirations – where are the saving to be made if any?
Core Operator Skill Training Requirements
- Aptitude v trained ability
- Concept of Operations drives level of training
- Compare Army v RAF Operation
- Ab initio & Post Grad training
- Training facilities – system simulation, tactical scenario simulation
- Testing, Examining, Certification & Licencing of operators
- Authority to withdraw Licences
- Governing Bodies/Agencies
Basic Training Issues for Aircraft System and Human Interaction
- Current training best practice approach
- Not all Systems are created equal! Who or what is autonomous in the system of systems?
- Authority, responsibility and accountability.
- Rules of Engagement
- Good Airmanship - System vs Human approaches
Understanding Airspace
- Civil vs Military approach to airspace development and usage
- Proper use of Reserved Airspace (Temporary)
- UK Civil approach to airspace change
- Adopting an effective company airspace usage strategy
Training for Diverse Operations
- Getting the basics right
- Adapting current training practice
- Single vs multi aircraft systems
- Team vs Individual learning programmes
- Centric system bottlenecks
- Getting the training mix right
Civil/Military Coordination
- Strategy and planning, differences and similarities
- Potential Conflicts
- Authority for conflict resolution – policy and real-time
- Rules and Regulations
- Standardisation
Integrating Manned / Unmanned Operations
- CoRTS application
- Human vs system latency
- Human vs system context drivers
- Military deployment
- Civil operations
Establishing a Standard Approach
- Basic regulatory approaches
- Forces/Company approaches
- Commercial v National defence Interest
- Developing the necessary insight understanding
- Training the systems trainers
- Learning outcomes
Future issues
- Future Flight Management/Control
- Cognitive approaches to UAS operation
- Transitions – Designing out Human fallibility and electronic intransigence
Tools used in this workshop:
SeCORETM is a basic synthetic environment CORE that lends itself to the investigation and assessment of aircraft flight profiles and dynamics in complex situations. Based on work both within the US and Europe it combines data from various sources (radar, flight telemetry, synthesised flight profiles and man-in-the-loop) allowing scenarios to be developed and analysed.
CoRTSTM is an assessment tool developed as a spin off from the UK ASTRAEA programme. CoRTSTM uses a specially embedded notation within regulatory documents to provide for a Real-Time System assessment capability targeted at both Civil and Military operations. It is particularly suited to issues such s “Rules of Engagement” and “UAS special operations” where a number of issues may be required to be assessed and resolved within a finite timeframe by human operators or computerised autonomous elements within the overall system . Intrinsic to the CoRTSTM approach is the capturing and traceability of Authority, Responsibility and Accountability within a system or systems.

André Clot worked for 10 years on the high level strategy for NATS systems development including engineering systems, training and manpower strategies before embarking for the last 11 years on the design, development and operation of UAV Systems. Key milestones have been as the UK’s first UAS Flight Demonstration Director for the successful Watchkeeper initial trials at ParcAberporth and as the Trials Director for the Light UAS Flight Operations within the UK ASTRAEA Civil programme. He is currently Director of EuroUSC, the first company to be awarded Qualified Entity status for the assessment of Light UAS within the UK and has been a Council Member of the UK’s UAV Trade Association, UAVS, for over 10 years. |
