| Summary: | This report provides insight into airfield design issues, considerations and challenges for the unique operational needs of large unmanned aircraft systems (L-UAS; weighing 55 lbs or more), considering safety and capacity at existing airfields of different types and sizes. The guide addresses integration vs. segregation of operational areas at airfields as well as considerations for different L-UAS categories and capabilities, integration of technology (e.g., command and control systems, detect and avoid systems, cybersecurity and infrastructure and utilities). It also addresses airport master planning, including economic and cost considerations, L-UAS support infrastructure (e.g., maintenance facilities, hangars, terminal, and fueling), environmental impacts (e.g., hazmat, noise and battery storage), and approach surfaces and terminal airspace. |
