Abstract
With development of technology and increase of commercial demand for unmanned aerial system(UAS), the related regulation has been prepared and complemented with the advanced countries such as Unite States and European Union(EU). However it is difficult for regulation to cover all areas of UASs practically since UASs have been developed in a variety of configurations and performance depending on their purpose. Therefore the reasonable criteria for the classification of UASs and their category should be suggested before development of the regulation. For this reason, many countries have been studying the standard for UASs classification and International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) makes an effort to prepare the international standards. In this paper, the new classification scheme which can complement domestic regulation is suggested based on investigation of the global trend of UAS classification and their researches.
