New JARUS document CS-UAS Annex B supports multiple simultaneous unmanned operations

The Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned Systems (JARUS) has published a new document aimed at regulating operations of multiple simultaneous unmanned flight operations.

The publication “JARUS CS-UAS, Annex B – Management of Multiple Simultaneous UA Flight Operations (MSO)” now available on the JARUS website. The publication reflects the findings of the Working Group AW, headed by Markus Farner of the Swiss Civil Aviation Authority (FOCA).

The Annex B is intended to be used for Multiple Simultaneous Flight Operation where:

• The purpose of the flights is that the involved UAs operate relative to each other.
• The purpose of the flights is that the involved UAs operate independent of each other.
• It is assumed that MSO requires automation as it is not possible for humans:
• To have sufficient Management over each individual UA participating in this operation.
• To ensure safe operation for all participants in the operational environment without the support of systems performing automated and/or autonomous functions.
