EDA/ESA workshop on New Capabilities for Unmanned Aerial Systems. European Space Agency. The Netherlands, May 2010

The EDA/ESA workshop on New Capabilities for Unmanned Aerial Systems
(UAS), held last May in the Netherlands, was a success. It gathered 83
participants from 18 countries.
Over the presentations and the rich discussions we had, both end users and enablers of the UAS civil market could share their needs and ideas in regards to using UAS.
The workshop provided additional input to the ongoing feasibility studies on satellites
for UAS. It also lead to the selection of a UAS mission scenario for a demonstration project, intended to be co-funded by ESA and EDA. At last, it fostered the seeding of new projects to be supported by ESA.

The summary of the workshop, as well as selected presentations are publicly available on the ESA / IAP website.
