Agenda
\ Background for the Danish Drone Strategy
\ The Danish Drone Strategy
\ Drone Regulation
\ Pro’s and cons
\ Current conditions of the Danish drone industry
\ Next Step and summary
Background
\ 2010: Project initiated for a UAS test center
\ 2013: UAS Denmark & UAS Test Center Denmark are established
\ 2015: Boeing/Insitu conducts BVLOS Flights
\ 2015: UAS Denmark sendsrecommendations regarding National regulation
Background\ 2015: Road Map for the Industry
\ Stimulation of Research (Suggested: € 6 to 13 mio. every year)
\ Access to low-risk areas\ Establish national regulation\ Public use of drones\ Strengthen UAS DENMARK as a national cluster\ Establish a national test center of international
standards
\ 1 September: National drone legislation\ 23 September: The Danish Drone Strategy
The Danish Drone Strategy
\ 6 Main Ambitions1. Strengthening research and development2. Establishing International Test Facilities3. Promoting public sector drone use4. Education for development and use5. Danish participation in international standards6. Internationalisation of business & research
1. Strengthening research and development\ € 8.6 mio. for research infrastructure (2017)
\ Development with Advanced Technology Groups
\ Innovation and development in drone companies
\ Focus on UAV use and development in agriculture
\ UAS Ability\ National Committee for Research Infrastructures
(NUFI)\ €4.0 mio. investment\ €4.6 mio. co-financed
\ Development of Drone Technology, Integration and use
\ Focus on research in the environment and climate
\ All Major Universities in Denmark\ University of Southern Denmark, \ Denmark Technical University and \ Aalborg University\ Aarhus University\ Copenhagen University
Free the Drones (FreeD)
\ University of Southern Denmark led project
\ FreeD partners are investigating differentaspects of new BVLOS Technologies:
\ Reliable communications\ Failsafe hardware and software\ Detect and avoid systems using bio-inspired
echo-location from bats and optical flow from insects
2. Establishing International test facilities\ National Drone Strategy has appointed HCA Airport
as the place for drone testing.\ HCA Airport as an international hub for tests of
UAS Technology.\ Denmark as a Drone nation: Testing, usage and
development with HCA Airport as the epicenter\ A task force developing the regulatory framework
\ The Danish Nature Agency will make areasavailable for drone tests
\ UAS Ability in HCA Airport
\ Mobile Ground Control Station
\ Platforms and payloads
\ Data collection, storage, and analysis
\ Development Laboratories\ 25,000 square feet facility at Hans Christian
Andersen Airport\ Composite materials research and testing\ Systems integration: Hardware and software in the
loop, system, environment, operation simulation\ Three-dimensional ground-based sense and avoid
radar
HCA Airport is key\ Optimal conditions for a national test center
and international hub\ Hangars\ Workshops\ Labs\ Office Facilities\ Cluster
\ UAS-Ability\ Development of UAS technology, usage and integration
for data collection, specially in the field of climate\ DKK 27 mio. for infrastructure at HCA Airport from SDU
\ Composite lab, integration lab, 3D Radar System\ HCA Airport will provide airspace, infrastructure and
cluster
Strategic Organization
UAS Test Center Denmark
1:R&D 2:Cluster 3:Facilities
Odense as partner and test capital\ Dedicated aim to move drone technology and its usage
forward
\ Well suited for collaboration and experimentation
\ €1 mio. invested every day (2012-2022)
\ Infrastructure \ Construction \ Growth
\ An already well established robotics ecosystem
\ 35.000 Students
\ Innovator Municipality of the year 2015
\ 1½ hour to Copenhagen and Malmö
\ 3 hours to Hamburg
World Map of Robotics Capitals
ODENSE

OSAKA / TOKYO
3. Promoting public sector drone use\ Government support for:
\ Information campaign for public use of drones\ National conferences focusing on the public sector\ Establishing a public sector forum for knowledge
sharing and best-practice methods
\ Primary public sector stakeholders:\ Emergency management agencies\ Fire Departments\ Law Enforcement\ Municipalities\ Public/Private Partnerships
4. Education for development and use
\ Drone Curriculum for Drone Certificate Schools \ 5 approved training schools
\ Special Emergency Services Drone Education\ Specifically designed for law enforcement
and fire brigades
5. Participation in international standards
\ Danish Standards works towards influencingEuropean and international standards
\ Special performance contract: \ Knowledge base for standardisation with
Danish Technological Institute
6. Internationalisation of industry & research
\ Horizon2020 projects within robotics, automation and drones
\ RoboCluster\ UAS Denmark\ The Danish Universities (E.g. SDU, DTU, etc.)
\ Mapping of international research environments
\ International matchmaking, knowledge sharing and partnership agreements
\ Special export promotion offers
\ Innovation Camps: \ Identifying partners, projects and strengthening
international networks and growth
What is the Drone Regulation?
\ Comprises:\ Addition to the Danish Aviation Act\ The consolidation act of flying with drones
in urban areas
\ Still to come: The Consolidation act of flying with drones outside of urban areas
New Drone Regulation\ Urban Flight Rules effective
1 september 2016
\ Rules for non urban flight expected 1 July 2017 (Delayed)
\ Flights allowed for every certified drone pilot
\ Drone pilot: 2-3 days course with exam
\ Approval follows pilot
\ Special permits can be issued for advanced operations, BVLOS etc.
New Drone Regulation - Pros and cons\ Positive:
\ Drone Certificate\ Harmonized rules applying to all\ Mandatory education by law\ Experience criteria for:
\ Multirotors\ Fixed Wing\ According to weight class\ Night flying\ Special permits (Risk assessment)
\ Development issues:\ Rules related to privacy concerns\ No minimum weight
\ Microdrones\ Low max. speed limit (50 km/h)
Fast Track BVLOS
\ 9 months effort to establish preliminarylow risk BVLOS rules for Denmark
\ Three case Studies\ Powerline inspection\ Agriculture\ Maritime
\ UAS Test Center Denmark tests (EVLOS, BVLOS)
\ Results to be released December 2016
