Military Aviation Authority: Uncrewed Systems
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, assessment he has made of the preparedness of the Military Aviation Authority for uncrewed testing.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Military Aviation Authority (MAA) as the air safety regulator for the Defence Air Environment sets the regulatory framework for Uncrewed Air System (UAS) Test and Evaluation (T&E) but does not own, direct or deliver any UAS T&E activity.
In support of the Ministry of Defence’s uncrewed ambitions, over the past five years the MAA has reorganised, upskilled and developed an updated and flexible approach to certification and regulation of UAS.
