RPAS and AAM Strategic Regulatory Roadmap

The Future of Australian Skies

The aviation landscape is evolving. Drones, air taxis, and other cutting-edge technologies are shaping the way we think about flight. But with innovation comes the need for regulation. That’s where the Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Strategic Regulatory Roadmap (the Roadmap) comes in. This framework is part of the Emerging Technologies Program, designed to safely and efficiently integrate new aviation systems into Australia’s airspace and regulatory structure.

Automated Operational Risk Assessment, Enabler or Hurdle?

The most recent ANRA Huddle webinar provided a deep dive into one of the most critical components of safe and scalable drone operations: automated operational risk assessment. As the global unmanned aviation ecosystem continues to evolve, understanding how to effectively assess and manage operational risks has never been more important.

The Role of Automated Risk Assessment Tools

A major focus of the webinar was the transformative role that automated operational risk assessment tools are playing in the future of drone operations. With these tools, safety evaluations are becoming more efficient, accurate, and scalable. By automating the risk assessment process, operators can more easily integrate the JARUS SORA methodology into Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems, ultimately linking operational planning with real-time airspace management.
