Blue Ribbon Task Force Releases Interim Report on UAS Mitigation at Airports

The Blue Ribbon Task Force on UAS Mitigation at Airports released its interim report today which includes lessons learned from London Gatwick's December 2018 Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) incursion incident as well as over twenty recommendations to industry and government on steps that should be taken to safeguard airports from UAS incursions. The Task Force, with members from the United States and Canada, was commissioned in April of this year by Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA) and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) to study the benefits and threats of UAS in and around airports and to make recommendations to industry and government.
