.png)
There is an increasing need to fly UAS in the NAS to perform missions of vital importance to National Security and Defense, Emergency Management, Science.
•There is also an emerging need to enable Commercial Applications
•UAS are unable to routinely access the NAS today due to numerous barriers including, but not limited to, a lack of:
–Validated technologies and procedures which ensure UAS can maintain safe separation from other aircraft
–Secure and scalable command and control communications systems for UAS
–Robust and certified pilot/aircraft interfaces for Ground Control Stations (GCS)
–Standardized safety and certification regulations applicable to UAS
•The technologies, procedures, and regulations to enable seamless operation and integration of UAS in the NAS need to be developed, validated, and employed by the FAA through rulemaking and policy development
