2025 Agenda

Global, industry-consensus standards are at a critical juncture to enable and adapt with BVLOS UAS operations, fulfilling requirements in frameworks deferring to these standards. As standards bodies fulfill these requirements, a central objective is to foster interoperability and harmonization and avoid fragmentation that limits advanced operations. With a goal of enabling widespread and equitable BVLOS operations under these forthcoming standards, this is an opportunity to enable the UAS industry for long-term and significant growth.

In this presentation, the ASTM F38 Committee on Unmanned Aircraft Systems Chair will share current ASTM initiatives and priorities in the busy realms of the FAA Part 108 rule to enable BVLOS operations, U-space harmonisation, and autonomy.
