UAS – Regulatory Framework in Spain Military Regulatory Framework:
Military Authority: Head of Air Force Staff
Ministerial Law: License of Designated UAS Operator (DUO) 2 categories (<> 150 Kg MTOW).
Military UAV Operators School created in 2011
Regulation for Military UAS Operation in Segregated Airspace: Based on the concept of Flexible Use of the Airspace Segregated Airspace in time (corridors) and/or space (restricted areas) Considered as “Exceptional” air activity (case by case authorization) Initially centered in a reduced number of specific areas for crew training
and flight testing of systems and operations
Civil Regulatory Framework:
Civil Authority: AESA (Ministerio de Fomento)
Regulatory framework under analysis
Coordination with Military Authorities
Developing Permits to Fly for UAS experimentation on a case by case basis

Initial integration of UAS in Segregated Airspace
Operational Military UAS: PASI
Not designed for Certification Large number of flight hours Needed for crew training and
operational validation Useful for governamental uses
(Mutualization) Alternative Certification way
needed (case by case) Military Experimental
Airworthiness Certification
New developments: PELICANO
Experimental Airworthiness Certificate (EAC) awarded by the Spanish Civil Aviation Safety Authority (AESA)
Limited flight area, but enough for integration
Military EAC initiated Design oriented to Type
Certification4

MINERVA Operation
Heron 1 MALE UAV operational demonstration
Canary Island (Gando Air Base and International Airport)
December 2008 7 Operational Flights from an International
Airport Operation managed by the Spanish Air Force Full integration with Civil ATC for Take-off
and Landing Use of military corridors and Delta area for
segregated airspace operation Satellite based Primary Data Link via
HISPASAT Ku band transponder Payload: EO MOSP + MPR/SAR Data Integration with Spanish SIVE Maritime
Border Control, managed by Guardia Civil

UAVs for R&D in ATM :
4 year (2007-2010) Spanish R&D Project cofounded by CDTI and lead by Boeing Research & Technology Europe (BRTE)
Indra has defined, developed and provided the ground ATM platform for experimentation of the following concepts:
ADS-B Use of Aircraft/Flight Intent Air/Ground Trajectory Synchronization
• With 4D trajectory data Trajectory Negotiation Decision Support Tools:
Conflict Detection Conflict Resolution, Sequencing and Scheduling
A new concept of Autopilot, capable to interact in real time with the ATM has been defined and tested
ATLANTIDA has used in real time UAVs and simulated traffic integrated in a virtual ATM, for testing advanced ATM concepts

Conclusions and Recommendations Define common procedures for UAS Special Certification, both
for operational military UAS and for testing new developments
Promote creation/use of test ranges & associated airspace to: Enable UAS development
Validation and maturity of operational concepts
UAS-ATM synergy ATM R&D concept & technology validation:
Saving and risk reduction
UAS Integration based on new ATM concepts and not in direct pilot functions’ substitution
Increase Civil-Military cooperation: Integration of Military UAS will open the door
UAS experience is mainly on the military side
Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA) important for SES and UAS
Large UAS are expected to be “gate-openers” in UAS integration into non-segregated airspace, but small UAS can also contribute to bring confidence and start testing operational scenarios
