Regulations - FAA
Civil UASObtaining a Special Airworthiness Certificate in the experimental category for a particular UAS is currently the only way civil operators of unmanned aircraft are accessing the NAS. Experimental certificate regulations preclude carrying people or property for compensation or hire, but do allow operations for research and development, flight and sales demonstrations and crew training. The FAA is working with civilian operators to collect technical and operational data that will help refine the UAS airworthiness certification process. The agency is currently developing a future path for safe integration of civil UAS into the NAS as part of NextGen implementation.
Public UASCOAs are available to public entities that want to fly a UAS in civil airspace. Common uses today include law enforcement, firefighting, border patrol, disaster relief, search and rescue, military training, and other government operational missions. Applicants make their request through an online process and the FAA evaluates the proposed operation to see if it can be conducted safely.
Model AircraftRecreational use of airspace by model aircraft is covered by FAA Advisory Circular 91-57 (PDF), which generally limits operations for hobby and recreation to below 400 feet, away from airports and air traffic, and within sight of the operator. In June 2014, the FAA published a Federal Register notice (PDF) on its interpretation of the statutory special rules for model aircraft in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. The law is clear that the FAA may take enforcement action against model aircraft operators who operate their aircraft in a manner that endangers the safety of the national airspace system. In the notice, the FAA explains that this enforcement authority is designed to protect users of the airspace as well as people and property on the ground.
The FAA estimated just last year that there could be 30,000 Drones in the skies by 2020.

UAV remote sensing functions include electromagnetic spectrum sensors, gamma ray sensors, biological sensors, and chemical sensors.
A UAV's electromagnetic sensors typically include visual spectrum, infrared, or near infrared cameras as well as radar systems.
Biological sensors are sensors capable of detecting the airborne presence of various microorganisms and other biological factors.
Chemical sensors use laser spectroscopy to analyze the concentrations of each element in the air.
Today, sUAS make accurate, high resolution point clouds representing the “surface” of things. LiDAR sensors will become common in the next 1-3 years, and will produce high resolution point clouds of the earth, not only the surface of things.
