International leaders in drones will fly into Rome at the beginning of June to collaborate and develop uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) standards. 
NUAIR (Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance Inc.) will host the ASTM International unmanned aircraft committee at the New York UAS Test Site at Griffiss International Airport on Wednesday, June 1, through Friday, June 3. 
The meeting is expected to bring together up to 100 international industry leaders in the UAS industry, focused on developing industry standards to advance the integration of UAS into the national airspace, according to NUAIR officials. 
Drone users have been working on ways to fly drones outside a user’s line of sight. This could potentially make it possible to use drones to drop off packages for commercial purposes, among other possibilities.  
“NUAIR has had an active voice in ASTM International and many other UAS standards organizations for years, helping to develop the standards needed for safe, commercial drone operations,” said NUAIR CEO Ken Stewart, in a statement. “We are looking forward to hosting and taking part in the next ASTM International meeting at the New York UAS Test Site.” 
ASTM’s F38 committee addresses issues related to design, performance, quality acceptance tests, and safety monitoring for unmanned air vehicle systems, officials said. 
Stakeholders include manufacturers of unmanned aircraft systems and their components, federal agencies, design professionals, professional societies, maintenance professionals, trade associations, financial organizations and academia.
