This standard establishes a classification framework for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating below 1000 m above ground (Low-Altitude). The framework bases on operational scenarios, mission profiles, and system capabilities. the standard defines relevant terminology and classification criteria including platform type, flight range, autonomy level, propulsion method, and intended use cases. The framework also accommodates emerging categories such as smart UAVs and consumer-grade aerial technologies, helping to ensure inclusivity of both industrial and personal-use platforms.

P3773
Standard for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Operator Simulator and Training Facilities
This standard specifies smart consumer technology requirements for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) simulators and operator training by defining unified, measurable criteria across six areas: human machine interface design; integrated simulator and training materials development; augmented reality and virtual reality training technologies; quantitative scoring and evaluation systems; UAV specific training and talent development pathways; and operator guidance and documentation.
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No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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
