Programs, Partnerships & Opportunities

The FAA's vision for fully integrating drones into the National Airspace System (NAS) entails drones operating harmoniously, side-by-side with manned aircraft, occupying the same airspace and using many of the same air traffic management systems and procedures. This vision goes beyond the accommodation practices in use today, which largely rely on operational segregation to maintain systemic safety.

We realize this vision requires collaboration across industry, government, and academia. You can read about some of the FAA's major partnerships and initiatives below.
