Overview
This internal FAA report was intended to assist FAA's development of the key components of an implementation plan.20 This report suggested that among other actions FAA’s implementation plan should:


 * identify the tasks necessary, responsibilities, resources, and expected time frames for incremental expansion of UAS operations;
 * clarify the priorities for aligning internal resources in support of near- term and long-term integration efforts and provide consistent communication with external stakeholders on the expected progress, cost, and extent of UAS integration during these time periods;
 * align resources supporting UAS integration including allocation of FAA personnel and funds used for contracts and to acquire systems and services in support of integration; and
 * establish the operational, performance, and safety data needed and also the associated infrastructure for collecting, storing, disseminating, and analyzing data, actions that could be a component of an implementation plan.
