Coast Guard 

[Docket No. USCG–2015–0197] 

Cooperative Research and 

Development Agreement: Unmanned 

Aircraft System Demonstration for 

Support of Coast Guard Missions in 

the Arctic 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of intent; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces 

its intent to enter into a Cooperative 

Research and Development Agreement 

(CRADA) with Conoco Phillips 

Company (COP) to evaluate unmanned 

aircraft system (UAS) capabilities, 

benefits, risks and technical limitations 

of operating UAS from land and/or off 

a Coast Guard Cutter in a maritime 

environment. The Coast Guard will 

conduct flight testing and evaluation of 

UASs under a wide variety of simulated 

but realistic and relevant real-world 

maritime operational scenarios, such as 

ice operations, marine environmental 

monitoring, marine safety, search and 

rescue, and potentially other Coast 

Guard mission sets. While the Coast 

Guard is currently considering 

partnering with COP, the agency solicits 

public comment on the possible nature 

of and participation of other parties in 

the proposed CRADA. In addition, the 

Coast Guard also invites other potential 

non-Federal participants, who have the 

interest and capability to bring similar 

contributions to this type of research, to 

consider submitting proposals for 

consideration for similar CRADAs. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted to 

the online docket via http://

www.regulations.gov, or reach the 

Docket Management Facility, on or 

before April 20, 2015. 

Synopses of proposals regarding

Guard (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT) on or before April 27, 2015.
