What is JARUS?
Purpose of JARUS
The purpose of JARUS, as stated in the Terms of Reference, is “to recommend a single set of technical, safety, and operational requirements for all aspects related to the safe operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). To do so, existing regulations and other materials applicable to manned aircraft must be reviewed and considered, specific tasks related to UAS must be analyzed, and materials covering the unique characteristics of UAS must be developed. The JARUS guidance materials are intended to make it easier for each authority to develop its own requirements and avoid duplication of efforts.
JARUS Members
JARUS is an expert group that brings together regulatory expertise from around the world. Currently, 63 countries and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and EUROCONTROL contribute to the development of JARUS work products. In order to give stakeholders the opportunity to support JARUS activities, a Stakeholder Consultation Body (SCB) representing all industries has been established.
