Uncrewed Aerial Systems Committee
Purpose:
To develop a roadmap and serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas and knowledge among users, researchers and engineers from academia, industry and government with interest in the development of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) technologies and their applications to transportation management. The committee will also serve as a forum with resources representing airport operators, industry, academia, consultants and federal government - a collective voice with respect to policy and regulation.
Exchanges include conferences, workshops, special sessions in conferences, and publications to promote active discussions on relevant, existing and emerging UAS applications. The roadmap may include potential uses, policy challenges (i.e., no-fly zones and remote identification), technical challenges, potential benefits, research needs, implementation needs and timeline, and so on.
Please note: You must be a member of ASCE and/or T&DI in good standing to serve on a committee. If you do not meet this criteria, please update your membership before you apply.
