Description

Access 5 is a national project sponsored by NASA and Industry with participation by the FAA and DoD to introduce high altitude long endurance (HALE) unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for routine flights in the National Airspace System (NAS). Access 5 commenced in May 2004 and is slated to run for five years. The project has received initial funding from NASA and guarantees of support from the UAS industry.

The goal of Access 5 is to enable what government and industry leaders believe will ultimately be a robust civil and commercial market for HALE UAS. The current lack of ready access to the NAS inhibits investment in UAS commercialization and the ability of users to obtain cost-effective UAS services. Access 5 seeks to remove the barriers to aviation’s most compelling new offering in decades.
