State-of-the-art of mass-market drones standards – First iteration

This report will give a first view on the status of standards development for mass-market drones. This deliverable will mainly focus on the critical assessment of the European UAS Standards Coordination Group (EUSCG) Rolling Development Plan. The EUSCG RDP will be reviewed and/or complement where needed with the incorporation of information from other world areas, notably Far-East, as well as relevant information from non-aviation domains (e.g. automotive industry in what relates to autonomous systems, ITC for data science and communications among the others). The focus will be on the specific and certified categories of operations, including the need for standards supporting the SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) methodology.
