This standard defines the taxonomy of autonomy levels for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), including associated functional and technical requirements for each level and evaluation rules for autonomous capabilities. It is used to standardize UAS autonomy classification, guide UAS autonomous system development and application, and provide a basis for UAS autonomous capabilities evaluating. It includes definitions of three human-machine interaction paradigms (human in the loop, human on the loop, human off the loop), as well as requirements for seven categories of autonomous capabilities: the capability of flight control, environmental awareness, track and route planning, autonomous obstacle avoidance, energy resupply, responding faults and emergencies, and task decision-making.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
