The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is expanding its efforts to detect and identify unmanned aircraft system (UAS) aircraft that are operated too close to airports. The FAA signed agreements in early May with three companies - Gryphon Sensors, Liteye Systems and Sensofusion - to "evaluate procedures and technologies designed to identify unauthorized UAS operations in and around airports," the FAA said. FAA Senior Advisor on UAS Integration Marke Gibson added, "Sometimes people fly drones in an unsafe manner. Government and industry share responsibility for keeping the skies safe, and we're pleased these three companies have taken on this important challenge."
