NASA UAS OPERATOR REPORTS

NASA - Reports involving Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) events reported by operators of manned or unmanned aircraft.

The Partnership for Drone Competitiveness is a coalition of U.S. drone and drone component manufacturers and enterprise users who are committed to strengthening the U.S. drone industry. The Partnership is built on a simple premise: that stronger U.S. leadership in this industry is better for everyone. Domestic drone products enable greater security for customers and end users. They reduce dependence on foreign supply chains for components and rare earth materials and they allow the United States to reposition itself as the global leader in advanced aviation. With targeted investments and common-sense policies, we can level the playing field for UAS innovation.
