The use and regulation of civil unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), commonly known as “drones”, has become a hot topic of conversation, fueled, in part, by several sensationalized landings in the nation’s capital and elsewhere. Is our current airspace management system prepared for UAS and other autonomous aircraft? This meeting focused on aircraft less than 55lbs, do not carry weapons of any sort, and are used for personal, commercial, or research purposes. The workshop considered practical policy strategies to manage and safely deploy commercial, public, and private UAS in U.S. airspace.
