Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are one of the fastest growing sectors of aviation today. Given the growing concern among both regulators and the general public with respect to the safety of these flights, new tools are needed to understand the demand and the associated impact of UAS on the National Airspace (NAS). UAS-Max, developed by Intelligent Automation Inc. (IAI), is a UAS demand forecast generation tool that provides NAS stakeholders with sample UAS demand datasets that can be used to model and study the impact of UAS flights in controlled Airspace.UAS-Max generated data is focused on UAS flights 2, 000 feet above ground level or higher. The UAS missions and mission specific flight data are developed based on interviews with SMEs and the key stakeholders that are planning to fly UAS. Based on these inputs, detailed demand forecasts are generated and validated using advanced modeling and simulation techniques. UAS-Max data sets provide users with critical data, such as UAS mission characteristics, mission specific demand estimates, aircraft types, flight routes, departurearrival airports and other flight plan data, that are needed to model UAS traffic in the NAS for a wide range of relevant use cases. Each UAS-Max mission data product has the relevant data needed to model and analyze the impact of UAS operations in the NAS for the representative use case.UAS-Max demand data is currently available for the following missions:Air Quality MonitoringSpill MonitoringWildlife MonitoringMaritime PatrolFlood MappingBorder PatrolLaw EnforcementWeather Data CollectionPoint-Source Emissions MonitoringNews GatheringWildfire MonitoringAirborne Pathogen TrackingAerial Imaging and Mapping
