Abstract

Currently, there are no comprehensive and harmonized regulations for unmanned aviation, instead there are many groups and agencies developing standards and policies. These include among others, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM), the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE), Eurocontrol, as well as civilian aviation agencies in the UK, Australia, South Africa, Canada and elsewhere. The military is also drafting their own policies with the US DoD and NATO, currently taking the lead.
