UK CAA Releases Electronic Conspicuity Roadmap for Drones and Crewed Aircraft

The UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has published its official roadmap for implementing Electronic Conspicuity (EC) systems across the country's airspace. This strategic plan aims to improve air safety by enabling both uncrewed aircraft, like drones, and traditional crewed aircraft to electronically see and be seen. The policy is a key component of the UK's broader Airspace Modernisation Strategy, designed to facilitate the safe integration of new aviation technologies. The goal is to create a mixed-equipage environment where different EC devices can work together, significantly enhancing situational awareness for all airspace users.
