UAS Test Sites

Selected in December 2013, the UAS Test Sites support UAS integration by providing an avenue for the UAS industry and stakeholder community to conduct more advanced UAS research and operational concept validation.

About the Research

The research will collect and analyze UAS Test Site data and make recommendations to improve data quality and consistency. The data requires analysis to determine technical and operational trends to derive conclusions that support critical safety decisions required to integrate UAS into the National Airspace System (NAS).
