Slow Progress Forces Rethink of UAS Standards Committee
by BILL CAREY AINOnline
The U.S. industry and government committee that was formed to define performance standards enabling unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to fly in unrestricted airspace will break into separate groups focused on component aspects of UAS because of concern over the committee’s slow progress.
RTCA Special Committee 203 (SC-203) was established in October 2004 to define minimum aviation system performance standards (Masps) for UAS that the Federal Aviation Administration would then use in developing its guidance to industry in the form of technical standard orders for equipment and advisory circulars for methods and procedures.
