Altran Praxis has been involved with unmanned systems for many years now. This talk explores some of the differences to manned aircraft considerations, and shares some of the experiences of successfully arguing safety to allow UAVs to enter military service.

Mr Paul Chinneck CEng MRAeS MIET CSP, Certified Safety Professional
