First informal meeting of the ECAC UAS network of national contact points
27 January 2022 - With the objective of bringing together the ECAC network of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) points of contact to exchange information on UAS-related work in their States and engage in interactive discussion, an informal meeting was organised at the initiative of the ECAC Focal Point for UAS, Elisabeth Landrichter (DGCA Austria).
Over 30 national experts joined this kick-off meeting. Discussions focused on sharing national priorities, including the implementation of the new EU regulations and U-space development, and reviewing the challenges encountered by States, and potential solutions.
The experts welcomed this initiative and expressed an interest in organising further meetings — with a more focused agenda — to continue the exchange of information and expertise, acknowledging that this should not duplicate the work of other organisations and groups.
