Abstract

In the United States, which has a huge market for small unmanned aircraft systems（sUAS）, the new act called Part 108 is planning to be introduced. By looking at the changes in the sUAS legal system up to the establishment of the new system, we would like to analyze the process of institutionalizing the innovation of sUAS in the U.S. aviation industry, the relationship between the industry and aviation authorities, the way local government’s view sUAS, disaster response, and security requirements.
