Strategies for Passing Regulatory Procedures during the Operational Phase of Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Abstract

The problem of integration of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into the airspace of the Russian Federation is currently receiving increased attention. The conceptual proposals under development define the main directions of regulatory and technological policy for the integration of UAS into the airspace of the Russian Federation, as well as the effective airspace use (AU) by all users in the interests of national security and economic development of the Russian Federation. The issues of regulation in the field of UAS application in the Russian Federation, in this regard, are of particular relevance. This article analyzes the main possible strategies for passing regulatory procedures at the stage of UAS operation. On the basis of this analysis, the strategies for the commercial application of UAS are formulated.
