Things STANAG 4671 does NOT seem to cover explicitly

[edit]
  • Any need for the UAV or its operators to be aware of other aircraft, either by radar, radio or visual.
  • Any need to the UAV to advertise its presence, other than by position lights, eg no minimum radar cross section is specified.
  • any need for UAV or operators to interact with civilian air traffic control
  • but it does recommend the shape of the landing gear control. - Rod57 (talk) 01:24, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Seagle 2007 (eg page 6) seems to say collision avoidance covered by Article 12 operational procedures (outside of airworthiness) - Rod57 (talk) 15:59, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation or politics

[edit]

It would be interesting if we could describe the motivation for the type of detail in this standard. It seems much more detailed than required to allow a military UAV to fly safely through civilian controlled airspace. - Rod57 (talk) 01:24, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lopez 2014 ref seems to suggest (p7) it was based on French USAR (possibly based on manned aircraft). - Rod57 (talk) 15:56, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

wondering about article header

[edit]

Why is the header different than the rest of the standards, for instance STANAG 5516? By the way, I am not member of this community, but it just struck me :-) Boschmi (talk) 06:01, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
