Abstract:Small Unmanned Air Systems (s-UAS) have generated a lot of interest in recent years due to their potential to revolutionize applications in civilian domains. For the widespread use of s-UAS to become a reality for civilian applications, s-UAS must safely and reliably integrated into the National Airspace System (NAS). Because the technology in this field is advancing rapidly, there has been no comprehensive study on the technologies involved. This study seeks to provide a comprehensive survey of the recent technological advances, identify potential issues, and propose solutions. Focus will be on the Sense and Avoid (SAA) and Unmanned Systems Traffic Management (UTM) aspects of s-UAS integration in NAS. This study surveyed available and developing technologies, performed a comparative study of existing solutions proposed by industry, academia, and the government, and formulated a UTM solution for urban package delivery.
