The research will lead to the implementation of new technologies that will make airports safer for passengers and manned aircraft
- Host airports meet FAA requirements for diverse testing environments and represent airport operating conditions found across the United States
- The effort is part of the agency’s Airport Unmanned Aircraft Systems Detection and Mitigation Research Program
- Testing will begin later this year and continue through 2023
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today selected five host airports to evaluate technologies and systems that could detect and mitigate potential safety risks posed by unmanned aircraft. The effort is part of the agency’s Airport Unmanned Aircraft Systems Detection and Mitigation…
