6/16/2010 - Ensuring the Safe Integration of UAS
As the popularity of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) grows, the FAA is moving forward with plans to ensure safe integration of these aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS). FAA achieved a milestone on June 9, 2010, by signing a cooperative research and development agreement with Insitu, Inc., a Boeing Company subsidiary and provider of unmanned aircraft.
The new partnership will enable further study of how the craft operate and help the industry move closer to a sense-and-avoid solution. For more information on the safe integration of UAS in the NAS, check out the article "Eye in the Sky: Assuring the Safe Operations of UAS" in the
May/June 2010 issue of FAA Safety Briefing. -FAA.gov
