UAS and related technology have been mainly developed for military use but, in recent years, various types of civil UAS have been using in a variety of applications. For example, there are multicopters to shoot aerial photography, pesticide spraying unmanned helicopter, and in addition there are radio control (R/C) aircraft to be used for hobbyists. UAV has spread rapidly enough that permitted experts as well as the public can use it but the related safety regulations are not properly equipped. We investigated the status of domestic and international UAS certification system and airworthiness standards. And the trends in research for the development and modification of the certification system were studied in this paper. As a result, most countries have studied to develop the related regulations and especially ICAO has tried to develop RPAS manual, standards and recommended plans and modify the related ICAO annex through the research group, ICAO UASSG. Based on the manual and SARPs, authorities, related organizations and companies have prepared to develop and modify regulations in accordance with the actual situation of each country.

Early remotely-piloted aircraft system (RPAS) development focused on simple reconnaissance to obtain information by visual observation for military demands. Currently, various types of remotely-piloted aircraft (RPA) is being developed worldwide for applications in many different areas. As RPA avionics are combined with CNS/ATM technologies, RPA capabilities will be enhanced and the market is expected to grow rapidly. ICAO has been held the Air Navigation Commission on 14 October 2011 to discuss revising Procedures for air navigation services (PANS) and guidance material related to RPA and their associated systems. It progressed that Annex 2 and 7 will be revised and came into effect from 2012. However most of incorporate revisions are not clear yet. Because the revision articles recommend follow requirements of the state(s). Considering operations of RPA in controlled airspace and between adjacent states, the qualification and training of RPA pilot will be one of the main issues for RPA operation. In this paper, we will take a look at international and domestic trends of regulation framework in ICAO and RPA advanced country in chapter 2.1 and suggest about consideration of remote pilot qualification and training for establishing regulations of remote pilot license.

With development of technology and increase of commercial demand for unmanned aerial system(UAS), the related regulation has been prepared and complemented with the advanced countries such as Unite States and European Union(EU). However it is difficult for regulation to cover all areas of UASs practically since UASs have been developed in a variety of configurations and performance depending on their purpose. Therefore the reasonable criteria for the classification of UASs and their category should be suggested before development of the regulation. For this reason, many countries have been studying the standard for UASs classification and International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) makes an effort to prepare the international standards. In this paper, the new classification scheme which can complement domestic regulation is suggested based on investigation of the global trend of UAS classification and their researches.

With the rapid growth of technologies and demand of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPASs), integration of such systems into the existing airspace is becoming an issue in many countries. To assess the impact of integrated operations of manned and remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), it is necessary to perform Human-in-The-Loop (HiTL) simulations of likely situations with an integrated simulation system. This paper defines several operational concepts for the integrated simulation. Several probable scenarios were developed including a traffic pattern at a small airport and an altitude maneuver at a route crossing. HiTL simulations were performed according to the developed scenarios. The simulation results are analyzed focusing on the impacts of different communication, safety, performance, and human machine interface (HMI) characteristics of RPA.

Types of innovation can be categorized into simplification, information, automation, and intelligence. Intelligence is the highest level of innovation, and RPA can be seen as one of intelligence. Robotic Process Automation(RPA), a software robot with artificial intelligence, is an example of intelligence that is suited for simple, repetitive, large-scale transaction processing tasks. The RPA, which is already in operation in many companies in Korea, shows what needs to be done to naturally focus on the core tasks in a situation where the need for a strong organizational culture is increasing and the emphasis is on voluntary leadership, strong teamwork and execution, and a professional working culture. The introduction was considered naturally according to the need to find. Robotic Process Automation, or RPA, is a technology that replaces human tasks with the goal of quickly and efficiently handling structural tasks. RPA is implemented through software robots that mimic humans using software such as ERP systems or productivity tools. RPA robots are software installed on a computer and are called robots by the principle of operation. RPA is integrated throughout the IT system through the front end, unlike traditional software that communicates with other IT systems through the back end. In practice, this means that software robots use IT systems in the same way as humans, repeat the correct steps, and respond to events on the computer screen instead of communicating with the system's application programming interface(API). Designing software that mimics humans to communicate with other software can be less intuitive, but there are many advantages to this approach. First, you can integrate RPA with virtually any software you use, regardless of your openness to third-party applications. Many enterprise IT systems are proprietary because they do not have many common APIs, and their ability to communicate with other systems is severely limited, but RPA solves this problem. Second, RPA can be implemented in a very short time. Traditional software development methods, such as enterprise software integration, are relatively time consuming, but RPAs can be implemented in a relatively short period of two to four weeks. Third, automated processes through software robots can be easily modified by system users. While traditional approaches require advanced coding techniques to drastically modify how they work, RPA can be instructed by modifying relatively simple logical statements, or by modifying screen captures or graphical process charts of human-run processes. This makes RPA very versatile and flexible. This RPA is a good example of the application of digital to intelligence(D2I).
