Overview: Unmanned vehicle systems currently represent one of the fastest growing technology sectors in the world. Within the next five years, the global market for UAVs is expected to top $100 billion.
However, growth and innovation within the US marketplace has been severely hampered due to the FAA's decision to limit access to aerial system flight testing while it establishes rules and certifications for use of UAVs in the nation's already crowded air space. These limits to flight access areas does not apply to national defense and security UAV programs. Therefore the government and military programs continue to stretch the innovation chasm between government and commercial UAV developers, adopters and suppliers. The OS-URAVS program is designed to help bridge that gap through the use of open source software technologies.
