  3. Civil UAV CapabilitiesAssessment • Task: Develop a Civil UAV Capability Assessment (2015 Time Frame) • Customers: Sub-Orbital Science Program, Vehicle Systems Program • Complement DOD roadmap • Homeland Security, Commercial, Land and Coastal Regions Management, Earth Science focus areas • Objectives: • Influence the management of the UAV technology portfolio based on user defined future needs and missions • Broad civil arena assessment vetted with participating agencies: NASA, NOAA, DOE, U. S. Forest Service, etc. • Initial draft version is available via web-site: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/research/civuav/index.html • Information sources for initial version: 35 missions • primarily Earth science missions (SSMF, GSFC Earth Science Missions, NASA/DOE/NOAA workshops and UAV Initiative Advocacy) • 21 basic technologies and capabilities identified to support missions
