14 UAS are a promising sector of the aerospace industry and have gained widespread attention for their benefits shown on the battlefield There is a growing demand by law enforcement, first responders, wildfire fighters, agriculture, construction, many more. Current civilian and commercial use is limited due to the challenges of regulation, culture, safety, cost, insurability, sense-and-avoid, etc. UAS Test Site is needed to address these 14

Sense-and-Avoid Communications Control RPA, Semi-autonomous, Autonomous Lost communications and data links Encryption Separation methods Airspace classes

15 Sense-and-Avoid Communications Control RPA, Semi-autonomous, Autonomous Lost communications and data links Encryption Separation methods Airspace classes Groups / varieties of UAS missions and uses add to the complexity of testing Requires a phased approach to evaluate and test many components for safe flight 15

16 Demonstration and Evaluation Roadmap Roadmap must be phased Address each NAS challenge Address each UAS Group (appropriately) Have joint team of DoD, academia, industry, and FAA representatives Start simple and grow in complexity Initial use in Restricted Airspace & MOAs with additional COAs & MOAs as needed to prove integration 16

17 Group I Group II Group III Group IV Group V Demonstration and Evaluation by UAS Group Restricted airspace: Can be tested at Atterbury, Jefferson Proving Grounds, and Glendora in compliance with Restricted Airspace Provisions. With COA: Can be tested at any facility Restricted airspace: Can be tested at Atterbury, Jefferson Proving Grounds, and Glendora in compliance with Restricted Airspace Provisions. With COA: Can be tested at any facility With MOA and COA: Can be tested at any facility and flown between facilities with GBR, observers or chase planes ensuring airspace safety With MOA and COA: Can be tested at any facility in compliance with Restricted Airspace provisions and flown between facilities with GBR, observers, or chase planes ensuring airspace safety. Launch and recovery from Hulman Field, Atterbury, or other appropriate airstrip Restricted airspace: Can be tested at Atterbury and Jefferson Proving Grounds in compliance with Restricted Airspace Provisions. With COA: Can be tested at any facility, LOS With MOA and COA: Can be tested at any facility and flown between facilities with GBR, Observers or chase planes ensuring airspace safety Could be flown into Military or Civilian airfield with sufficient run way, appropriate COA and chase plane to ensure airspace safety. Can be flown over any facility with compliance with Restricted Airspace Provisions. Normal Flight envelope is outside NAS (requires COA and chase plane) Raven B, BATMAV, Dragon Eye, Draganflyer, etc. Scan Eagle, Buster, STUAS MQ-5B Hunter, RQ-7B Shadow MQ-1C Gray Eagle, RQ-1 Predator, MQ-9 Reaper, MQ-8B Firescout Global Hawkclass UxS 17

18 DoD, Academic, and Industry Partners Existing military infrastructure Training and technology infrastructure in place Major international and municipal airports, and logistics support Multiple types of airspace Ability to work collaboratively with FAA, industry, and academic partners to create an effective Roadmap to NAS-UAS integration 18
