The purpose of JARUS, as stated in our Terms of Reference, is “to recommend a single set of technical, safety and operational requirements for all aspects linked to the safe operation of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). This requires review and consideration of existing regulations and other material applicable to manned aircraft, the analysis of the specific tasks linked to UAS and the drafting of material to cover the unique features of UAS”. The JARUS guidance material aims to facilitate each authority to write their own requirements and avoid duplicated efforts.
Vision
The Vision of JARUS is to provide timely consensus recommendations of UAS, including RPAS, that meet the common needs of JARUS members and stakeholders, including ICAO.
Mission
The mission of JARUS is to develop technical and operational requirements for the safe, secure, and efficient operations of UAS, to serve as a common reference for use in respective JARUS member regulations and guidance, doing it in an effective and efficient manner avoiding duplication of efforts with other International aviation organisations.
Objective
The objective of JARUS is to provide guidance material aiming to facilitate each Authority to write their own requirements and to avoid duplication of efforts. If this harmonised guidance is endorsed by the Authorities, this will facilitate the validation process of foreign certificates/approvals.
In summary…
JARUS is an international group of aviation safety experts that develops harmonized recommendations and guidance for integrating Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) into global airspace. By providing standardized requirements, JARUS helps national authorities avoid redundant work and ensures global consistency, with significant collaboration from its member organizations and the Industry Stakeholders Body.
