Abstract This report documents work done by Volpe staff to support the FAA’s development of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) noise certification and noise measurement criteria. The primary elements were the development of a small, lightweight Global Navigation Satellite System-based tracking system, a noise certification test on a relatively large, fixed wing UAS, and continued testing and development of method of conducting satisfactory noise tests on UAS. Recommendations for future work includes continuing the development of the tracking system, expanding the database of UAS noise measurements, and working with other subject matter experts on the psychoacoustics of UAS noise.
