What Is the Green UAS Cleared List?
The Green UAS Cleared List helps industry stakeholders determine if a commercial drone is safe and secure to use. When a non-military drone on the list gets a military sponsor, it can also be part of the Department of Defense’s Blue UAS list, which is the military’s official list of approved drones. Manufacturers of individual drone parts can also be reviewed and considered for inclusion on the Blue UAS list if they share their information with AUVSI.
Remarks From AUVSI’s Casie Ocana
Commenting of the addition of WingtraRAY to the list, Casie Ocana, vice president of public affairs and certifications at AUVSI, said, “With the WingtraRAY now Green UAS cleared, surveyors, government agencies, and contractors have access to a secure, high-performance platform ready for deployment today, not months or years down the line. It’s another step forward in our mission to build a resilient, trusted uncrewed systems ecosystem.”
