Abstract :
• Multiple Stakeholders: FAA, DoD, DHS, state, local, commercial, etc. • Current process: — Management by exception — Certificate of Authorization (COA) — Civil process, special airworthiness for experimental vehicles, precludes for-profit operation • Shared goal: UAS operate no differently than other aircraft in NextGen operations; file-and-fly • No unified approach has been developed to bridge requirements, RD&D, and user needs
