The application period for the Call for Proposals on Remotely Piloted Air System demonstration activities will close on the 31st of May 2013 at 15:00 CET.

The objective of this Call for Proposals is to select and co-finance around 10 projects offering SESAR integrated Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) demonstration activities. The aim of the demonstration activities is to:

• Demonstrate how to integrate RPAS into non-segregated airspace in a multi-aircraft and manned flight environment, in order to explore the feasibility of integration with the wider aviation community by 2016
• Focus on concrete results filling the operational and technical gaps identified for RPAS integration into non-segregated airspace; and
• Capitalise on the SESAR delivery approach by providing synergies, risk and opportunities, with the overall SESAR programme.

In order to support interested applicants prepare for the call, the SJU hosted an info day on 18 March. All documentation and answers to the queries can be downloaded here
