Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are experiencing unprecedented investment from industry fueling growth in research and development of UAS technologies and capabilities. The advancements produced from these investments are rapidly driving up demand for UAS operations for which the NAS was not designed. Some UAS operations are disruptive and will require unique solutions (e.g., UAS Traffic Management System (UTM), Upper Class E Traffic Management System (ETM)). There is also the consideration that leveraging current NAS systems, regulations, and policy can also allow effective management of many of the new entrant unmanned operations in the near term.
