Peter van Blyenburgh, President, Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS) International, Valentijn de Leeuw, Vice President, ARC Advisory Group, and Shabtay Negry, COO, Mantis Vision will deliver keynote addresses at the upcoming SPAR Europe 3D Measurement & Imaging Conference and European LiDAR Mapping Forum, taking place 8-10 December, 2014 at the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Mr. Peter van Blyenburgh, whose keynote address is entitled “The Current Status Regarding Civil Operations,” will present on the problems and obstacles relevant to the integration of RPA (remotely piloted aircraft) into non-segregated airspace. Mr. van Blyenburgh will highlight the actions taken by the European Commissions and its agencies relative to RPAS (remotely piloted aircraft systems), and will provide an overview of the regulatory situation in Europe and the rest of the world. The session will conclude with an explanation of the interest for the photogrammetry community to be recognized as an aviation stakeholder group and offer suggestions on how to proceed in this direction.
