Abstract
This paper describes a project which was aimed at collecting information and identifying system specifications and requirements from subject matter experts (SMEs) to better understand current small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS) missions, capabilities, and expected payload (e.g., sensor or weapon) employments. These SME interviews were intended to help provide an initial, exploratory step toward the development of a Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for use among government, state and private sectors interested in the implementation of a SUAS. A particular challenge to the researchers was the varied backgrounds and focal areas of the SMEs. This paper details the interview process, results, challenges, and benefits associated with categorizing, implementing, and integrating findings from SME interviews in an emerging and dynamic topic area (SUAS).
