With the recent announcement by the FAA that it was slowing the process of designating official testing sites for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in part over privacy concerns, the organization that represents drone makers has a blunt message for the FAA that is perhaps best translated as, “Do your job.”
The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) in an open letter to the FAA said that since “the primary mission of the FAA is safety” the agency should “adhere to the will of Congress” and immediately announce its UAS test site selection process in order to move UAS integration forward without further delay.”
