Event details

In his presentation, titled “Lower Airspace, the Final Frontier,” Richard Parker will explore the paradox of human achievement in aviation and space exploration. Despite our remarkable advancements, such as conquering the skies and landing on the moon, we face significant challenges in managing and utilising lower airspace effectively.

Key Highlights:

  1. The Paradox of Lower Airspace:
    Examining the complexities and regulatory hurdles that prevent us from seamlessly operating drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) within 500 meters.
    Discussing the technological, safety, and privacy concerns that need to be addressed.

  2. Current Challenges and Innovations:
    Highlighting the ongoing efforts to develop robust air traffic management systems for lower airspace.
    Innovations in drone technology and the potential for commercial and recreational applications.

  3. Future Prospects:
    Envisioning a future where lower airspace is efficiently managed, allowing for safe and widespread use of drones.
    The role of policy, technology, and public acceptance in shaping this future.

ANSPs, regulatory bodies, and government agencies all need to understand the intricacies of lower airspace, the final frontier that holds immense potential yet remains a challenging domain to master. Richard’s presentation aims to shed light on the path forward, bridging the gap between our lofty achievements and the practical realities of everyday airspace management.
