  POLICY  
  UAS: Yet to fly high
Michael Toscano, Patrick Egan, Shunji Murai, Filippo Tomasello, Ron van de Leijgraaf and Guido de Croon
FAA released on November 7, 2013 its first annual Roadmap outlining efforts needed to safely integrate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the nation’s airspace. It addresses current and future policies, regulations, technologies and procedures that will be required as demand moves the country from today’s limited accommodation of UAS operations to the extensive integration of UAS into the NextGen aviation system in the future.. Experts share their views on policy perspective and challenges....

Galile Achieves First Airborne Tracking
The European Space Agency’s Galileo satellites have achieved their first aerial fix of longitude, latitude and altitude, enabling the inflight tracking of a test aircraft. ESA’s four Galileo satellites in orbit have supported months of positioning tests on the ground across Europe since the first fix in March.

Now the first aerial tracking using Galileo has taken place, marking the first time that Europe has been able to determine the position of an aircraft using only its own independent navigation system. The milestone took place on a Fairchild Metro- II above Gilze-Rijen Air Force Base in the Netherlands at 12:38 GMT on November 12...[more]
