The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has recently published for comment a roadmap for the routine operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in U.S. national airspace.

“I know you all want a file-and-fly regime, but this won’t happen until 2011 at the earliest, according to the roadmap schedule,” Tony Ferranti, the FAA’s director of air traffic safety oversight, told a UAV industry gathering in Washington recently at the Unmanned Systems Program Review conference organized by the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International.
