Remote pilots for small uncrewed aerial systems (sUAS) are at a disadvantage for building situation awareness of the airspace in which they are flying, because of limited sight lines and distance from cell towers. A tool to provide increased air traffic situation awareness for an sUAS pilot is being developed. The “UASP-kit” is small and self-contained, with its chief capability being to collect and display Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast reports of local aircraft. UASP-kits were taken into the field, introduced to users during a training course, and then left with them for the summer fire season. sUAS pilots used the prototypes when it was appropriate throughout the summer. The UASP-kits were operational for a total of 79 flight-days. Users noted that the UASP-kits supported their situation awareness but also identified several usability issues. The findings contribute to validation of the UASP-kit, and support continuing the work to improve the tool and develop additional functionality.
