Drone Advisory Committee (DAC) - Progress, Priorities, and Next Steps
|
|
Moderator:
Margaret Jenny, RTCA
The establishment of the Drone Advisory Committee (DAC) was announced by FAA Administrator Michael Huerta in May 2016. This committee was formed to provide an open venue for the FAA and key decision-makers supporting the safe introduction of UAS into the NAS. Members work in partnership with the FAA to identify and propose actions to the FAA on how best to facilitate the resolution of issues affecting the efficiency and safety of integrating UAS into the NAS. The DAC will strive to be flexible and responsive, responding to tasks in as short an amount of time as possible. Learn more about the emerging priorities of this forward-thinking group.

International Approaches for UTM and Vehicle Assurance

Moderator:
Jonathan Evans, Global UTM Association
Safe, efficient integration of UAS into the airspace isn't just an American priority. All over the world, air navigation service providers (ANSPs) are working to devise solutions to the complex challenges of new entrants like low-altitude drones. This breakout will examine how ANSPs are working to address their unique and common challenges, lessons learned, and how the global airspace will evolve in the next
1-3 years.
