The Unmanned Aircraft Program Office is developing a 5-year roadmap for the introduction of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System. This collaborative effort will specifically focus on defining related activities within the FAA, Government Agencies, and industry. The UAS Roadmap will evaluate the current state of UAS mission needs, forecast their near-term demands on airspace capacity, and chart a strategic plan to safely integrate their operations into the nation's airspace.
Public release of the UAS Roadmap is delayed pending FAA AVS management team final review and approval.
