- Contributions to the EDSTAR Expert Groups on Air Autonomous Systems and Maritime Autonomous Systems
Robotics and autonomous systems
EDSTAR’s Best Practice Standards are used by the Armed Forces of EDA Member States to guide their procurements of defense systems. In this way the impact of the outcomes of both EGs to the adoption of standards for autonomous maritime and aerial systems in the European Union will be direct and significant. At the same time, the identified gaps and recommendations for developing new standards or updating existing standards in this domain will be communicated to relevant SDOs and are thus expected to influence and accelerate the development of such standards in the near future. EDA’s Action Plan on Autonomous Systems (APAS) and Defence Test and Evaluation Base (DTEB) initiatives will also receive and make use of the outputs of both EGs. Moreover, the produced BPS lists and Final Reports will be updated regularly to reflect any new standardization developments in the field.

My fellowship supports the work of the European Defence Agency's (EDA) standardisation work groups (EDSTAR), the targeted groups are:
1) EDA EDSTAR Expert Group on Air Autonomous Systems
2) EDA EDSTAR Expert Group on Maritime Autonomous Systems
While the EDSTAR EGs do not develop new standards, they identify standardisation gaps and recommend how to address them by either developing new standards or revising existing ones.
