IEEE P3994.2 Working Group Kick-off Meeting

Dear All experts， You are cordially invited to attend the IEEE P3994.2 Working Group Kick-off Meeting to formally launch the working group and start the standard development process. Meeting Information Event: IEEE P3994.2 Working Group Kick-off Meeting Date&Time: 07 Nov 2026, 9:00 PM - 10:00 PM (EST) 【China Time: 08 Nov 2026, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM】 Format: In-person meeting (Shenzhen, China) and Teleconference Meeting Register Link: https://teams.live.com/meet/9362912988051?p=Ax00Ov1i826PZhkZls About the Standard This standard specifies the operational requirements and protocols for low-altitude goods delivery operations conducted by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in urban, suburban, and rural environments. These requirements include route planning, airspace coordination, obstacle avoidance, delivery management, communication, and interoperability among aerial platforms, ground control systems, and logistics infrastructure. The standard provides guidelines to help ensure reliable, coordinated, and scalable UAV-based delivery services across diverse application scenarios. Necessity of Developing this Standard With the rapid expansion of low-altitude UAV applications for goods delivery, helping ensure reliable, efficient, and coordinated operations in complex urban and suburban environments has become an urgent priority. Current practices vary widely across platforms and regions, leading to fragmented operational models and inconsistent performance. To enable large-scale deployment, it is crucial to establish a standardized framework that harmonizes operational requirements, system interoperability, and coordination mechanisms among multiple stakeholders. Low-altitude delivery operations demand integration of navigation, communication, traffic management, and payload handling systems under dynamic conditions. Yet, essential aspects such as route planning, collision avoidance, delivery authorization, airspace coordination, and security management remain insufficiently standardized. This project aims to define a unified framework for low-altitude goods delivery operations, promoting interoperability, predictability, and trust among service providers, regulators, and end-users. The standard will facilitate scalable, coordinated, and dependable UAV-based delivery systems across diverse applications and environmental contexts. Who Should Participate We sincerely invite all relevant stakeholders to participate, including: Goods Delivery Service Providers; UAV and Aerial System Manufacturers; UAV and Aerial System Operators; Inspection and Maintenance Service Providers; Automation and Control System Vendors; Safety and Compliance Authorities We welcome your active participation and valuable contribution to the IEEE P3994.2 standardization work.
