UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (UAS/Drones)

A draft amendment to the Facilities and Grounds Use, Activities policy is available for viewing. The proposed amendment establishes requirements for obtaining permission before flying UAS on or over ISU property. (Note that the proposed amendment does not ban the use of UAS at ISU.) Based on comments received during the public comment period (now closed), the initial draft has been revised, and work continues on the policy wording and on development of guidance and procedures, with ongoing communication occurring between the policy team and UAS users. Adoption of the policy amendment is anticipated in early 2016.
