September 23. 2005, Szendrő, Hungary
European Commission
The U.S. with government support is moving ahead • NASA and industry (ACCESS 5) have a budget of >$140 million • U.S. is planning to invest more than $15 billion in the next seven years
to accelerate the development of AAV systems, platforms, and payloads so that these systems will be capable of performing necessary security missions.
In the past Europe invested ~ €15 million, under the FP5 program, in UAVNET, USICO, CAPECON and HELIPLAT … and about €5 million for IFATS in FP6
But, Europe does not have any strategic initiative
for further developments for civil AAVs.
European research Commissioner Philippe Busquin says: "Americans have made better long-term strategic choices."

Education
Pan-European activity across 25 member states matching technologies
with capabilities
Missions (law enforcement, environment, agriculture, oceanography, emergency, etc…) will benefit European society
Initiate research and development of core technologies enhancing education, key skills and infrastructures
Requirement for suitable research, development, manufacturing and operations personnel will enhance technology education
Catalyst to encourage pan-European activity & establish relevant research, development and manufacturing aerospace infrastructures
across the 25 nations of Europe

Opportunities (if Europe adopts Civil UAV Roadmap) and
Threats (if Europe does not adopt Civil UAV Roadmap)
Utilization Decision Making
Full European autonomy - completely independent
Europe may have to follow outside directives on civil UAV uses.
Technologi-cal infrastructure
Completely European produced civil UAV system, instead of a “component and parts” manufacturer
Technology must be bought as finished products or with conditions
Pan-European research
Know-who and, Know-what benefits Europe and Pan-European relations
Weaken European research and knowledge in this area

workforce Development of highly skilled workforce
workforce loses challenge to develop skills
Worldwide competition
Europe can compete with its own product in the civil UAV market
Europe is a bystander in the civil UAV market

Worldwide Civil UAV Industry
Europe maintains leading role in this high growth market
Europe is net purchaser only
Civil UAV Service Industry
European service industries with their supply chains expand substantially
European civil UAV service industry dependent on imports
European aerospace employment
directly boosted, increasing its attractiveness for younger generations
Contributor to possible rise in unemployment
Opportunities (if Europe adopts Civil UAV Roadmap) and
Threats (if Europe does not adopt Civil UAV Roadmap)
European Commission
There is much potential in aerospace in the new European member countries
European Commission Employment
in the Polish Aerospace Industry
European Commission
Avoid a skills gap
The vision presented in the Roadmap
is very important for the 10 “new countries”
• to avoid a skills gap and
• to avoid a brain drain to other parts
of the world (Europe!)
European Commission
East European economies must be transformed East European economies must be transformed from heavy industry & agriculture from heavy industry & agriculture into a knowledge-based economyinto a knowledge-based economy
(from presentation by Prof. Z. Goraj of Warsaw Univ. of Technology at UAVNET Workshop No. 13)
• Investment into the AAV R&D&P can accelerate this process
• No need for big money - it is not the Airbus case!
• SMEs & universities can play the primary role
• Eastern & Central European countries possess the necessary experience, technological knowledge, well educated and skilled manpower and research facilities
• Clear vision, political acceptance, coordination and motivation to act is urgently needed.
• So little and so much is needed.
European Commission
Lesson learned fromBusiness Cases
• Further work must be undertaken in co-operation with potential users to further evaluate viability of Civil UAV utilization for civilian applications
• Initial evaluations indicate improved performance at lower cost
• Potential for Wide Variety of applications limited only by “Imagination”
