The Range Safety Group (RSG) investigated options other than destruct for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) flying in the National Airspace (NAS) over populated areas and outside the range of local line-of-sight (LOS) flight termination system (FTS) transmitters. The objective of this special report was to develop an RCC standard for over-the-horizon (OTH) safe recovery of UAVs. The task considered requirements for global monitoring of UAV critical safety information and implementation of hazard control options such as reset flight control computer, uplink new route, change altitude, and override controls for UAV safe recovery operation.
