The Federal Aviation Administration on Nov. 3 convened a 26-person task force to develop ideas for a system to register unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones. Once the drone operators are registered, the FAA will be able to identify those pilots who violate its applicable regulations.
The task force has only until Nov. 20 to deliver. In remarks opening the task force’s first three-day session, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta challenged the group to “think big and think outside the box. Take the interests of all stakeholders, of everyone who will be affected by registration, into consideration.”
