Unmanned Aircraft Systems & Advanced Air Mobility

The Division of Aeronautics’ Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Program is developed to educate and integrate new unmanned aircraft technologies into the National Airspace System.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are a versatile tool that is expanding in capabilities rapidly within the transportation industry. UAS provides a wide variety of operational, societal, and economic benefits. Within the Department, the use of UAS has provided significant cost efficiencies, improved data quality, and enhanced personnel safety over traditional methods and existing processes.

This page provides resources and information about UAS/AAM for the State of Utah.
