Measuring and Comparing Small Unmanned Aircraft System Capabilities and Remote Pilot Proficiency Using Standard Test Methods.

07 Mar 2024
Al Ain E
Drones Conference
The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is leading an international effort to develop dozens of standard test methods for small unmanned aircraft systems. These tests can be used to quantitatively evaluate and compare various system capabilities and remote pilot proficiency no matter where or when the testing occurs. These tests are inexpensive, easy to fabricate, and simple to conduct so organizations use them worldwide to guide procurements, focus training, and measure proficiency for credentialing. This presentation will introduce our approach toward evaluating a wide variety of mission tasks with three basic test lanes for Open, Obstructed, and Confined environments. We will also discuss how to embed the tests into operational training scenarios as quantitative scoring tasks to measure, track, and compare performance. These tests are being standardized through the ASTM International Standards Committee on Homeland Security Applications; Response Robots (ASTM E54.09) and have been adopted by the National Fire Protection Association Standard for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Used for Public Safety Operations (NFPA 2400). These tests have been developed with support from the Science and Technology Directorate of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
