Overview
This Roadmap describes the Federal Aviation Administration's three-phased approach — Accommodation, Integration, and Evolution — to facilitate incremental steps toward its goal of seamlessly integrating UAS flight in the national airspace. Under this approach, the FAA's initial focus will be on safely allowing for the expanded operation of UASs by selectively accommodating some UAS use. In the integration phase, the FAA plans to shift its emphasis toward integrating more UAS use once technology can support safe operations. Finally, in the evolution phase, the FAA plans to focus on revising its regulations, policy, and standards based on the evolving needs of the airspace.
