8 OVERVIEW Federal Aviation Administration FY 2019 President s budget Submission Overview 1 OVERVIEW Since 1958, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has overseen all aspects of civil aviation in the United States, operating the largest, safest and most complex aerospace system in the world. A safe aviation system is the lifeblood of our nation s economy. Every day, the dedicated men and women of the FAA safely and efficiently guide thousands of aircraft to and from their destinations, collectively carrying millions of passengers and tons of cargo. Innovation has been an enduring theme throughout American history, and nowhere has this been more abundantly evident than in aviation.

9 The founders of modern aviation developed innovative technology and inspired imaginations around the world. This proud tradition of innovation continues today at the FAA. Across the board, we are now unleashing a host of technologies that will profoundly change what aviation looks like for decades to come. As we work to modernize the National Airspace System (NAS), we are ushering in this great new age of American aviation. Emerging technologies have led to new airspace users, such as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and commercial space Transportation . These new industries are developing at an astonishing pace. These changes in the aviation industry represent transformational opportunities and challenges for aviation infrastructure that the FAA will continue to address.

10 The President s budget request i ncludes a total of $73 million for the safe integration of UAS, commonly referred to as drones, into the National Airspace System. This includes $ million in Operations to set policies, procedures, and standards; $18 million in Facilities & Equipment to develop technologies that will automate authorization requests and eventually bring UAS under air traffic control; $ million in Research, Engineering & Development to study the safety implications of new operational concepts and technology as well as support the development of new regulatory standards; and $ million in Grants-in-Aid for Airports to safely integrate UAS into airport operations. Innovations in UAS technology have fueled a dramatic growth, with FAA s UAS registry recently logging 1 million users.
