Panel Talk: The Challenges of Test and Development of UAS Systems Within the Current UK Regulatory Environment
Phillip Coglan // Seminar Theatre 4 Surveillance // 11:00- 11:30 // 31 September
Panel Summary
This panel will explore the challenges of testing and developing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) within the current UK regulatory environment. As UAS technologies continue to advance, developers are facing increasing pressures around safety, certification, integration with manned aviation, and public acceptance.
The session will focus on identifying where the most significant barriers currently lie, and how industry, government, and regulators can work together to enable safe, compliant, and commercially viable innovation.
Key Discussion Points
- Regulatory Landscape: An overview of the current UK framework for UAS operations, including recent updates and what they mean in practice
- Testing and Development Challenges: Practical barriers faced by companies trying to build, test, and scale UAS in the UK, including risk assessments, access to airspace, and certification
- Safety and Security Considerations: How to manage issues around airspace safety, cybersecurity, and public confidence
- Industry Best Practice: What works, what does not, and how different organisations are navigating these challenges
- Future Outlook: How regulations might evolve and what the industry can do now to stay ahead
