Pilotless aircraft known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been used extensively for military and intelligence purposes. This includes situations where the mission area is too dangerous for a pilot to fly, the length of the mission is longer than a pilot could stay awake or aircraft are used as cruise missiles that crash into their target. With the decreasing cost and miniaturization of computers, it has become possible to build UAVs that are small and inexpensive making them accessible to businesses, law enforcement, hobbyists and the general public.

A low-cost system is needed to determine precise position and predict future location in flight and low-Earth orbit. One method to accomplish this task is to utilize an onboard GPS receiver. GPS units receive data from the GPS NAVSTAR constellation of 24 satellites in the form of a 37 byte ASCII text sent at 4800 baud called NMEA sentences. The standard is 1 HZ, which is one sentence per second, but can be more. Ideally, from this data a PVT (position, velocity, time) and altitude can be determined. This data is then transferred from the GPS module to a separate …
The Path To Regulation Of Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles In The United States, Jeremy Straub, Joe Vacek
The Path To Regulation Of Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles In The United States, Jeremy Straub, Joe Vacek

This poster presents an overview of proposed regulations that are presented in [1] related to a re-vised approach to small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) regulation in the United States. Prospective strategies for enhancing UAV regulation are consid-ered as is the pathway to develop and implement these regulations. The benefits of changing the UAV regulatory regime are discussed, on both a user/prospective user and societal scale.
