operators during the actualconduct of testing. This practice can be incorporated at any institution for ease of operation andto ensure that any mishaps are quickly contained and addressed.Another recommendation that the program is beginning to implement is to standardize the sUASfleet across the institution to the extent possible. While there are many different sUAS systems,the users found that 2-3 multi-copters and 1-2 fixed-wing platforms could perform most of therequired testing and research. Standardizing the fleet simplifies purchases, training, and thesustainment of these systems.Each institution will have to weigh the cybersecurity risks outlined above when developing aplan to address them. As a military organization, the risks were deemed
