Key Takeaways:
- Leidos launched its UAS Notification Service to manage the increasing number of unmanned aircraft in U.S. airspace.
- The service is currently being tested as part of the FAA UAS Pathfinder Program to prevent conflicts between commercial UAS, military, and general aviation operations, including beyond visual line-of-sight flights.
- It functions by allowing UAS operators to file "flight plans" on the Leidos website, which automatically generate NOTAMs to alert other pilots about planned UAS activity.
