| Summary: | "The focus of this report is on current practices for utilizing unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in airport operations. The UAS segment of the aviation industry is experiencing significant growth as new and innovative uses of UAS applications are developed. Airports are increasingly looking to deploy UAS capabilities to improve the efficiency of a variety of airport operations and tasks. This study is based on information acquired through a literature review and survey results from 130 airports participating in the study that represent a range of airport sizes and geographic locations. Results of the literature review and survey are presented in this report. Case examples describing the different types of existing uses of UAS applications by airports are presented in Chapter 5."--Foreward. |
