'Consideration of wake turbulence during the integration of RPAS into the ATM system';

Published paper: The last decade has witnessed both the growth in Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) numbers and the introduction of the Airbus A380, the largest passenger aircraft to enter commercial service. Both introduce extremes at either end of the spectrum for weight and wingspan: into an Air Traffic Management (ATM) System where wake vortex separation minima have been unchanged for three decades. However, airport congestion may compel a rethink, and the mandated separation distances in place for wake turbulence are under scrutiny. Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) will inject yet another permutation into deliberations for separation standards and wake turbulence considerations.

Agriculture is predicted to be the second largest user of drones in the world in the next 5 years (2016). Drones continue to be used in various aspect within agriculture – such as cropping, early warning systems, monitoring plants, pests control, animal tracking, forest and environmental monitoring, for example. Important nomenclature, the move towards a risk-based safety approach, and airspace and its regulatory framework, are discussed; along with regulations from ICAO and other regulatory bodies, while a comparison is made with conventional (piloted) aircraft in agriculture. Next, the potentials and challenges of unmanned aircraft in agriculture are considered with the introduction of several case studies and an examination of noteworthy regulations across African and finally the impact of regulations on UAS in agriculture concludes this study.

From an origin in military and security applications, the use of unmanned aircraft (UA) technology is currently transforming commercial and humanitarian activity. Its evolution started many decades ago, but was limited by the technology of the time; in recent years, advances in this area have facilitated an increasingly rapid expansion of UA technology that has started to move into a variety of sectors. As the societal benefits of UA become clearer, organisations across the commercial and government spectrum seek to exploit the technology to improve their business models and offer a safer, cleaner, and more cost-effective alternative to traditional data-capture methods.
