NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) announced today the availability of a Gaps Progress Report, a vital document capturing key standardization progress and opportunities for the rapidly evolving unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) industry. The report tracks collective efforts by standards developing organizations (SDOs) and others to address the 71 gaps identified in the Standardization Roadmap for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Version 2.0, June 2020), published by the ANSI Unmanned Aircraft Systems Standardization Collaborative (UASSC).
The Gaps Progress Report was compiled by ANSI staff based on inputs from SDOs, subject matter experts, and independent research. It lists newly published standards and new standards projects, alongside suggestions for future roadmap modifications. The report is not a consensus document, but rather is intended to serve as an interim "living document" that will be maintained and periodically re-published until such time as the UASSC develops a next version of the standardization roadmap.
The UASSC was formed in 2017 to coordinate and accelerate the development of the standards and related conformance programs needed to facilitate the safe integration of UAS into the national airspace system of the United States. More than 400 individuals from 250 public- and private-sector organizations supported the standardization roadmap, including representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), other U.S. federal government agencies, SDOs, industry, and academia.
ANSI's facilitation of the UASSC is supported in part by contributions from the FAA. To be added to the UASSC's mailing list, or to offer suggested edits to the Gaps Progress Report, email [email protected]. For more information, visit www.ansi.org/uassc.
