小型ドローン向け標準性能試験法の日本での利用の実験的考察

抄録

Standard Test Methods(STMs) for small Unmanned Arial Vehicles(sUAVs) developed National Institute of Standard and Technology(NIST) have been widely used for operator training and criterion of deployment and procurement in US. While the sUAV-STMs are mainly used for disaster response in US, the other applications, e.g, aerial photography and infrastructure inspection, are also expected in Japan. Therefore, applicability of NIST sUAV-STM in Japan should be investigated. In this paper, an evaluation exercise of sUAV-STM has been carried including a long outside lane(90 meter length) with sUAV pilots of expert aerial photographers. Based on the measured sUAV-STM data and questionnaires, issues of sUAV-STM application in Japan will be discussed.
