Description:

"The idea for a mini-workshop to explore the use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) evolved from an awareness of the increasing capabilities and efforts within several Federal organizations to use UASs for a wide variety of missions. The OFCM proposed conducting an exploratory mini-workshop on the Federal use of UASs to the Interdepartmental Committee for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research (ICMSSR) and gained ICMSSR's support. We believe UASs will revolutionize Federal environmental observing strategies in the near future in a manner not seen since the introduction of weather satellites and Doppler weather radars assets decades earlier. There is a clear need to ensure our efforts are coordinated and transparent to the administration and the public"--Page iii.
