To facilitate the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the national airspace system, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) announced the availability of the May 2025 Gaps Progress Report, a vital document capturing key standardization progress and opportunities for the rapidly evolving UAS industry.
The Gaps Progress Report tracks how standards developing organizations (SDOs) are addressing 15 “gaps,” or key challenges—ranging from airworthiness to flight operations—identified in the ANSI Unmanned Aircraft Systems Standardization Collaborative (UASSC)’s 2020 publication, Standardization Roadmap for Unmanned Aircraft Systems, which highlighted 71 areas needing attention for UAS integration.
