TRB Webinar: The Day of the Drones - Airports and Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Part 2

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) activity is expanding. These rapid and large-scale changes may affect the safety of people and property. TRB hosted a webinar on Tuesday, April 27, 2021 from 2:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern that addressed the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s integration efforts, which have direct implications for airport operators. These integration efforts include counter-UAS mechanisms, remote identification and tracking, and airspace authorization waivers. Presenters suggested specific planning, operational, and infrastructure guidelines to safely integrate existing and anticipated UAS operations into an airport environment.
