In October 2005, the Defense Safety Oversight Council (DSOC), Acquisition and Technology Programs Task Force (ATP TF) established an initiative to help ensure the safety of unmanned systems (UMS). This initiative was established in response to the proliferation of UMS within the Department of Defense (DoD), and a concern for safety when these systems, primarily unmanned air vehicles, were operated over populated areas, or in proximity to other aircraft, both military and civilian, and when configured with weapons or ordnance items. This paper discusses the process that was followed in developing the UMS safety precepts and the associated DoD UMS safety guidelines document. It will also discuss the environment in which UMS are currently employed, the safety concerns with those operational environments and designs, UMS guide objectives, and conclude with an example of a Command and Control/Situational Awareness precept.
