News Line: UAS Operations in Antarctica
UAVS organised a members only mini-conference in Cambridge, UK, on Wednesday 4 November 2009 at British Antarctic Survey reviewing opportunities for UAS operations in Antarctica and the latest concerns from and latest developments within the CAA on future UAS regulation. British Antarctic Survey (BAS) first flew a UAV in Antarctica in 2007 and is looking to utilise UAS for its atmospheric research in remote locations, in some cases over 900 nm from the launch point. Long endurance, reliability and resilience to the extreme conditions are prerequisites for any new UAS offering. BAS is also considering hosting a small UAS flying demonstration in September 2010 and was looking for both CAA and UAVS input on the requirements, possibilities and scope of such a demonstration. Over 30 delegates attended a very successful event. A full written report and a copy of the proceedings are available to members. Date Line: 30 October 2009
