On October 20 2022 the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) launched a new publication which explains and simplifies the role of actors in the European U-Space concept.
According to EASA:
“Member States and EASA Cooperate in designing safely, secure and in an environmentally friendly manner the U-space airspace:
EASA
- defines the U-space concept to include all the services required to ensure it operates effectively, safely and securely
- provides certification requirements and means of compliance and certifies some USSPs
- supports and promotes its implementation.
Member States competent authorities
- establish the zones where U-space is deployed within the national airspace of that State
- define the performance requirements
- manage the scalability of the service to deal with growing volume of drones
- certify USSPs based on EASA requirements
- ensure that Common Information Services (CIS) is available as a single source of information for U-space”.
