The Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE), the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) designated Center of Excellence, has released the results of a study that was undertaken to understand the risks of flying small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) over people.
ASSURE says the study sought to answer the following questions: “How big of a UAS can we fly directly over a person, and if it does fall and hit someone, what is the risk of a serious injury?”
