Drawbacks to Drones
• Air-space (FAA will regulate in 2015)
• Accidents
• Loss of Control
• Too Much Information
• Too easy to go to war
• Due Process
• Privacy
FAA Test Sites
• University of Alaska: Intends to develop standards for categories of unmanned aircraft and conduct research on principles of future drone operations.
• State of Nevada: Plans to focus on certification requirements for remotely controlled aircraft, and how they will fit into the nation's air-traffic-control system.
• New York's Griffiss International Airport: Will work on sensors to prevent airborne collisions, in addition to research on integrating drones into congested airspace.
• North Dakota Department of Commerce: Plans to develop highly reliable communications links between ground controllers and drones.
• Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi: Will concentrate on developing tests to certify airworthiness of future unmanned aerial systems.
• Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University: With Rutgers University, intends to conduct research on failure modes and technical risks associated with drones.
