UAS Operational Users Working Group
In July 2024 the ESMAB Policy identified a requirement to address the needs of UAs Operational Users. ESMAB and subsequently the Agency Steering Board endorsed the establishment of the EDA UAS Operational Users Working Group, recognizing the necessity to create an expert-level community focused on UAS operational aspects, including airspace access, procedures, training, exercises, and tactics, techniques and procedures.
Work began in December 2024 with the first UAS Operational Users Working Group taking place at EDA with over 100 attendees. A number of actions were taken at this symposium all aimed at supporting Member States with the development of increased capability and capacity in the area of UAS.
