Abstract
Although several federal agencies and multiple governments (with perhaps competitive agendas) are involved in accomplishing the common goal of UAS integration in to civilian airspace, everything seems to move so fast, that when one considers a specific subject completed, new changes/modifications are in effect. It is true that there still exist major obstacles and that this process has been delayed considerably. Although the imposed deadlines differ, the ultimate goal is the same: integration of UAS in the NAS.
