Description

Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) are aircraft that do not carry a pilot aboard, but instead operate on pre-programmed routes or are manually controlled by following commands from pilot-operated ground control stations. Unauthorized UAS operations have, in some instances, compromised safety. In 2012 the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was directed to take actions to safely integrate UASs into the national airspace. In response, FAA developed a phased approach to facilitate integration and established test sites, among other things. This report addresses (1) the status of FAAäó»s progress toward safe integration of UASs into the national airspace; (2) R&D support from FAAäó»s test sites and other resources; and (3) how other countries have progressed toward UAS integration into their airspace for commercial purposes. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
