Member states adapt these NATO guidelines to their specific UAS types and mission sets.
is the definitive standardization agreement that establishes the minimum training requirements for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) operators and pilots across the Alliance. Managed under the framework of STANAG 4670 and maintained by NATO’s Joint Capability Group Unmanned Aircraft Systems (JCGUAS), this document creates a unified baseline of skills and certifications. It ensures that drone operators from different member nations can operate seamlessly within shared airspaces and joint multi-national deployments. The Evolution of ATP-3.3.8.1 stages
The proliferation of unmanned aircraft has fundamentally transformed modern defense, introducing complex integration challenges across air, land, and maritime domains. To mitigate these issues, NATO's Joint Capability Group Unmanned Aircraft Systems (JCGUAS) designed ATP-3.3.8.1 to achieve two distinct goals:
Mastery of the specific flight characteristics and limitations of the aircraft. This link or copies made by others cannot be deleted
Mastery over command-and-control data links, payload manipulation (like cameras or electronic warfare suites), and emergency recovery procedures.
Local airspace control, visual line-of-sight (VLOS), rapid tactical deployment. 150 kg to 600 kg Tactical Systems (e.g., Watchkeeper)
ATP-3.3.8.1 provides tactical-level procedures for conducting CBRN defence operations, focusing on:
