The interface and functional specifications of cellular communication terminals installed on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are presented in this recommended practice. The specifications are described in four categories: the terminals' interface and functional specifications, specifications of data transmission, environmental and reliability specifications, and safety practices. The terminals' functional specifications include power management, cellular network communication, flight data and payload data collection, procession and transmission, device management, and safety management. The terminals' interface specifications are the specifications of the electrical interface and electromechanical interface. The electrical interface refers to the power supply interface, communication interface, human-machine interface, and antenna interface. Data transmission is the flight data and payload data transmission protocols and terminals' payload data safety practice. Finally, the terminals' interface environmental, reliability, and electromagnetic compatibility are presented.

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No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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
